That Cairo Monopol scan doesn't look right.

I've seen a number of these T80's in my time while collecting this 50-card set, and all the Cairo Monopol cards that I've seen are printed with an unmistakable BROWN ink.

Here again is the scan of my card....and, it is true to it's exact color.





P.S......I think Dan McKee has a Cairo Monopol listed on ebay....if you need to see another example.
