I do not own a green border back - but just from what I have read id side with the borders having copper or some metal that turns green over time if wet.

Hi Leon
I like your Mike Mitchell card, as it indicates to us that T205's were not pre-printed with green borders.
Also, I like your green Orval, since it has a red SWEET CAP (Factory #42) back. I have yet to see any of these greenies with a different T205 back than this one. But, I'll bet that some one will post a greenie with a different T205 back. TED Z .

I don't have a T205, but I have seen a photo of one with the gold wearing off, and the paper underneath is green.

Actually, the color under the gold varies...most often it is yellow or off-white. i think the green printing was an early test run on the Sweet Cap sheet. I own at least 5 or 6 including a Tinker. They are odd and rare and often found in horrific shape.

The mysterious T205 cards with GREEN borders....show or tell us of your green T205's
Joshua
Are you confirming my anecdotal observation that all these greenies were printed with red SWEET CAP backs ? Or, can we also find them with other T205 backs ? ? TED Z .

To my pal Teddy Z...
I believe these 'green borders' were actually gold borders that simply discolored over time. Thoughts?
Edit: Here are two examples of the yellow and white borders that Josh mentioned.
