As for card stock being the difference that marks e92 from t216 I am probably in agreement. I know some of the cards in t216 are very thin (I call them type 3) and others have a glossy coat (if I remember correctly from holding one) but the team changes do it for me. I am also less convinced on the coloring of them....I think shades can probably be found different in the same series. (not positive)

While I agree that color variations most certainly exist within similar cards within a set(s)...I feel that the difference in this case is somewhat substantial.

The earlier e92's all exhibit a lighter...more yellow background whereas the later issues more orange.

Just an observation on my part...the caption tells the tale.

I see what you mean Pete. Thanks for posting those examples side by side.

I was way off base on this one. I figured it would go in the $250 range. I couldn't believe the final price.

I sold a couple, so I am down to 1 Mino and 1 each of the 3 Kotton backs.

If I ever obtain a T216 Virginia Extra for my type-card collection, guess which player I'd like it to be.

I have been wondering about the three Kotton backs. Is it already known which of the three are the hardest backs to find, or are they already so hard to find, each of the three are equally difficult? Also, which of the three come in the "thin paper" variety? Last question, can the year be determined based on which of the three backs it is, like some of the t206s? Thanks for any input.
