Name Boxes on T207 Cards

[GeoPoto]

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

George - I can definitely see the difference in yours. I can see how it would be hard to tell but having seen mine in person, it's probably easier for me to see it. Were you aware of the difference in them before?

I can see the difference too, but again it is the entire card, which to me is just the vagaries of the printing process as opposed to a variation. Everything on the 2nd Wajo is "browner"

[Cozumeleno]

That could be, Scott. I guess in that case I'd expect the box to simply be a browner shade and not a brighter orange/peach but your point on the print on particular cards vs. the print in the box is well taken.

Just to muddy the water, here are two Birmingham cards. The raw one is mine and the PSA one is not mine (from their site). The PSA one has a darker appearance to me but both boxes are still pretty white. I'll have to see if I can find other examples of cards with darker print but white boxes.

Well despite my best efforts, I can't get the PSA Birmingham to show up large enough. But here's a link to it where can see an enlarged picture.

It's an interesting topic, and I love T207's. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just playing devil's advocate. If I see convincing evidence I'll be very happy!

[Cozumeleno]

Haha, I don't know that there will be any forthcoming, Scott. It's just something I noticed the last couple of years in chasing these and when I ran a search on it, was surprised that I could not find record of it being discussed before. Not sure anything conclusive will ever come out of it and I don't know what to make of it. But I've seen several of these and others no doubt have them. Will be good to see some others' and how they compare with other copies.

The really fascinating thing to me is that the Dean's reprint of the set used the colored boxes with this exact same color. I'd love to know how that decision was made and I'm guessing they had to have seen some of these before. It's too big of a coincidence otherwise.

Here's one of their reprint cards.

I was not aware. The WaJo appears (again working from scans) to be the only one I have (out of 9 cards across 7 players). I think you just convinced me to hang on to both WaJo's.
