1913 National Game: Borders white, cream, tan?

Leon, the two cards you posted look pretty "creamy" and not "off-white." I wonder if they didn't even start at what I'd call "off-white."

The "Gem" card I have does not appear fake in any way. I just found a bit odd that it got "Gem" with very creamy borders...

I think creamy borders and off white borders are kind of similar (semantics). I could easily see a creamy bordered card still being Gem. This one (in link) is mint and looks to have sort of creamy, off white borders. I think time will do that to cards (paper) even when they are pristine otherwise.

Bo Derek was still deemed a TEN even though her coloration was affected by exposure to the sun
