T206 Survey Piedy 42 Light VS. Dark...

[Gradedcardman]

Very Nice !!

[DerekMichael]

I apologize for bouncing off of the original topic, but has anyone else noticed this exact same thing with Uzit backs? I remember a couple of others mentioning this on a past thread, and I certainly agree. One appears very light, while the others appear to be much darker. It could just be a fade, but it honestly does not seem like it.

Sorry for bouncing off the original topic, but I find this thread pretty interesting and I would like to know more about why some inks are darker and some are lighter. I remember how cool it was when the Sovereign 350's color variations were explained to me. It makes sooooo much sense. Maybe there is a reason for this too?

Cool thread!

I have four or five which I'll post tomorrow. Speaking of off topic but more likely related is the same light and dark Piedmont 42's in the T205 Gold Border set also. I'll post some of them too.

Derek- i used to own your last (boldest) Uzit. i have specifically focused on trying to find the boldest, darkest examples of each back. enjoy that card (Mullin).

My only Piedy 42 is this one - do I correctly guess that this one is considered "dark"?

Nice! I absolutely love the Mullin. Did you know that he pitched a no hitter on the 4th of July? It was his birthday to boot

I agree that there is something interesting with the shades of ink. Maybe it is a matter of fading, but if it pertains to printing groups, or something similar to the Sovereign 350 variations, that would be really awesome. Personally, I am stumped as to what it could mean, but I am sure there are at least a handful of people here who have some pretty interesting theories (assuming it is not just a fade, which would obviously not be as fun :/ )

keep 'em coming guys! great input...

btw....I believe the uzits are different in they are "shades" off, where as the 42's are almost a powder or baby blue, then the other piedys are a type of navy blue...more of a dramatic color change on the 42's, but I do see what your sayn' bout uzits

Here is my only 42. It is a McIntyre (B&C).

I've had only 5 - 42's in my collection. The 4 pictured here, and a Rucker. Four of them have lighter blue backs; and, the Baker appears
to have a darker blue back.

The blue Chase is still mine....the other 4 were traded (or sold) to Net54 members.
