1957 Topps Baseball ... color tint?

[Neal]

A good example, Peter.

There is clearly a difference.

Mantles. A little bit here is perhaps the scan but not nearly all of it.

[Neal]

I agree that in the comparison above some of it is the scan, but there is something more to it ... some cards simply have a "glow" to them, for lack of a better way to put it.

The Mantle above is one of those examples. Even if the 5.5 example had a better scan, there would still be an obvious difference imo.

brown mays green mays

Is it me; or is the border whiter on the green tints as well?

This begs the question; are all 57's available in two forms? Even the commons?
Why would this not be a "collectible" difference re: the Green Tints so prominently discussed and collected with the 62's.
Weird.

not just you, it appears to be that way .... if "green tint" is the proper way to describe. If not, what is? There is definitely something here.

Perhaps this is how "green tint variation" on the 62 Topps was discovered and classified as such - collectors simply talking about it.

The grass looks "mossier" on version 1.

I have had both the brown and green versions of the 57 Mays...and the white borders have a noticeable brown tint on the brown variation. I sold the 57 Mays PSA-8 (brown version) and bought the 57 Mays (green version) psa-8.5. I much prefer the green version to the brown version...it is much brighter.
