Turner,

Mine is a Piedmont #25 and has the white elephant. Or are you saying that the yellow elephant is only found on Piedmont 25s?

Hey Frank,

Like you, my other Collins (mouth closed) has a white elephant w/ a Piedmont 25. I have only seen three Collins examples with the yellow elephant and each had a Piedmont 25 reverse. For now, I think it is safe to assume that both versions can be found with a Piedmont 25---until another one [possibly] surfaces with a different advertisement.

Hope you are well...

I noticed Dean's cards recently sold a Yellow Elephant with a HLC back. Any others out there?

Would love to hear opinions on whether this should be cataloged as a variation...

This is not card, but guessing you saw this one on eBay (completed auction) with a Honest Long Cut back

I also have Collins WHite Elephant with a Hassan reverse.

I didn't know that this variation existed, pretty cool.

I notice that the top baseball also appears yellow on the yellow elephant card but the bottom one remains white (they are both white on the standard card). Any guesses how that happened?
