D310 Pacific Coast Biscuit Tint/Color Question

[oaks1912]

The large biscuits traditionally come in a wide range of hues. I believe that there are two principle contributing factors to this. #1) There was a range at the time they were printed... #2) There are numerous variables in how or where the cards have been stored for the last 100 years. Similar to sepia toned Zeenuts, exposure to sunlight, offset lighting , and UV rays can and will alter the appearance of the cards over time. Building a set in 'matched' hue will be very tough, unless you place your cards in the Arizona desert , face up, for 4 months. They likely will be unattractive, but they will match.

This is the 2nd Berry D310 I have owned. I traded my original one away to another boardmember, and then picked up this one which has been owned by several of our board members. I would describe this one as having a greener hue rather than a light blue hue.

I am trying to learn if anything additional has been learned about the tint variations in this set. To my eye, there are two distinct types- grayish B&W and Greenish/Blue.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I would presume that all poses exist in both variations. The grayish variation appears to be more scarce. Perhaps we can make a list of known examples?

I have seen 69/72 in Green/Blue (the three are the bottom 3 on the list).
I have the following gray tints:
Berry
Cutshaw
Danzig
Hoffman
Wolverton
Fitzgerald
Lewis
Rapp

What other gray tints can be confirmed?

You can find a bunch of them for tint comparison purposes in the Early Portland Beavers Baseball Cards gallery at http://www.sportingoregon.com/

Here are a few (below) and I think sometimes their tints get a bit miss communicated. Their shades tend to overlap a little.. The Moore looks sort of gray.

I have Ryan, Steen and Sutor in the Gray tints.

I started a thread in 2011 about the tinting of the D310 set. As a result of the responses to the thread, I have come to believe that all 72 are available in the green tint, while only 24 are available in the gray tint. I believe that of the 24 that are available in both green and gray tints that the gray tints are more common.

If someone were to post a link (sorry, beyond my capabilities at this moment) of that 2011 thread, you can get a fuller understanding of my ideas about this set, based upon the team checklists on the back.
