Name Boxes on T207 Cards

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

I guess the real question is can you find different colors of the same player?

Hey Scott - yes you can. I looked previously for the Austin I posted with the orange-colored box and most examples I've seen have the white box.

I do wish your Austin example was as clean as your Drake. Not saying it's definitively toning, but I'd like to see the "colored" box on an otherwise clean card. EVERYTHING about the Austin is darker.

Just realized my full Austin photo never posted. Here it is.

I'll have to check my others once I get home to see if there's a cleaner one with the darker box. This card has a distinctly different color than the rest of it. I'd be inclined to believe it was just darker due to aging/cleanliness if the color matched the border. But this one does not and it's distinctly 'more orange.'

But point taken - I'll check the others I have once I get home tonight to see if there's a brighter one with the darker box.

Just based purely on the scan, I think that Austin just has some unusual wear. The name spot looks like pink/beige to me, and seeing the mold dots on other parts of it makes me think the pink is mold coloration.

I realize you have it in hand and may be seeing something different than I am just looking at a scan. I'm going to take a look at all mine now.

Thanks, Luke - it definitely could be that. I appreciate you checking yours and I'm going to take a closer look once I get home. I wanted to bring it up in a thread as I've seen probably a dozen such cards. I'll see how pronounced the others may be and try to compare the wear on those as well.

I am not at the same location as these cards so I can't look at them. The scans I have are probably too poor to tell, but I thought I would post them just in case.3601412_11944752_1[2].jpg
