Ok heres a question...

Old Mill (Southern Leagues) - Brown

How do you know if it's brown or black faded.

I included 2 photos of my old mill backs..

Are either of these brown?

If so what value is added?

SL'er = Southern Leaguer

The brown Old Mill backs only come on Southern Leaguers (technically 48 players from several minor leagues in the south), and are always hand-cut, with uneven edges. They're very rare, worth thousands of dollars in decent condition, but if the player is a major leaguer (as yours are), there's no need to worry about it. Yours are black Old Mills.
