Thanks yazfan and Steve for the further contributions. These four all seem to fit into my tint theory. Steve's post is a good one because you can see a distinct difference between the gray and the green versions. If only the Peckinpaugh had been posted, some people might think it was actually gray in color. As you might notice just on the various cards posted on this thread, there are variations in tone on these, and scanners can distort the coloration too.

On a side note, my Peckinpaugh is like Steve's, but approximately 45% of the original size (I believe some kid was testing out a pair of scissors).

Keep them coming...your assistance in this will be greatly appreciated, and beneficial too!

I only own a couple, and like Leon, can't see the nuance but these cards appear to support the theory. I own the Weaver and Mitz(e)...

Thanks Brian and Max for showing your biscuits. They seem to line up with the tint theory. Any more biscuits out there? They do not have to be Pacific Coast Biscuits...they can also be D310 cards located on the East Coast.

While it may be true that the listed 24 cards are available in gray, it is not exclusive; they appear to be available in both colors. I have numerous examples of the listed cards in both colors.

Steen, Portland
Murray, Portland
Hoffman, Oakland
Tiedman, Oakland
Wolverton, Oakland
Danzig, Sacramento
Berry, Sacramento
Sutor, Sacramento

Scans too big to post.

Thanks Yomass for resurrecting an interesting post by interesting original poster (hey, that's me!). I would love to see scans of the card tint variations you have, either if you find a way to reduce the size and post here or you can send them to me by email. My tint theory was based upon my collection gathered from multiple sources over the years, but definitely it can be demolished if need be. Perhaps some or all of the gray tints can also be found in green. It would be interesting to find out if there are more than the 24 gray tinted cards I listed...so far no contradicting info on that account.

Thanks again for dragging this post back up...it reminds me how intelligent I seemed a year and half ago.
