1962T Green Tint

[commishbob]

I used the '10 year old me' plan when I put the '62 set together. I built the regular full set and added the green tints and variations that I figured I would have noticed when I was opening packs in '62. That included the cards involved in the Reniff/Ruth debacle, the 'different pose' cards and the green tints that were the most obvious, Howie Koplitz, for example. I ended up with about 35 or 40 additional cards in sheets in the back of the '62 binder.

Once I wrap up a couple of the projects I'm working on I think I will finish off the green tint subset. '62 Topps was the most interesting(!?!) set build I've attempted.

Remember when putting together a 1962 Topps Master Set you will need 4 cards of # 139. See below. Reniff portrait also appears as card # 159. No green version of card #159.

Some might call 62t green tint - simply ugly cards !

You are right about 4 different #139 cards. But, I believe the Reniff pitching pose would be the 'green tint' version of #159. Note the cloudy picture that jives with many of the other green tints.

Yes, the wrong numbered Reniff pitching card (#139) should've been the green tint version of card #159. They messed up the numbering on back (in all the GT cards and some of the 'regular' cards), so a green tint #159 doesn't exist.
