T205 Broadleaf- 2 colors?

[RCMcKenzie]

Here's a Bridwell...

Here's Becker... I don't think you find both colors for one card front either, but not 100%...

It's also hard for me to see the color differences from the scans. It's easier to see in hand and with glasses and bright light.

According to the T205 Resource site (as of 2013, as the site is no longer available), Austin, Downey and Phelps were the only ones identified as having both Green and Black Broadleaf backs. It is possible of course that other players may have both Broadleaf backs as well...previously unknown backs I imagine are still being discovered.

Here is Zack Wheat with black Broadleaf back:

I never really distinguished between them for my backs but I wasn't a master back collector when I did it. These are from the first collection.

I am very confident there are 32 different Broadleafs. All players are either green or black but it can be challenging to distinguish the difference in the color, especially when the card is worn.

Cory, are you saying every bl back is found with both colors? Here's a better scan showing one blueish grey and one green...I'm asking because I have a few t205 back runs going.

Anyone know where that Walter Hindu ended up? If someone here owns it and willing to part with it, i would be interested.

As far as I know, it's either Black or Green ink but not both. The cards that listed both were because the color was either difficult to determine or at the time, collectors thought theirs were all black ink because they thought the green ink ones would look like the Sovereign green.
