I either didn't remember or didn't see the Brown Lenox Bat Off Cobb.

Aloha! I have collectd t206's for many decades.....never much payed much attention to the backs, other than avoiding cards with back damage. While flipping through my 206s I see I have a T206 Al Burch in fielding position with a brown lenox back "factory 30 2nd dist NY. It is a beater with multiple creases but all the print and pic are clear. For a long time I heard that the brown ones were just washed out black ones. The back is dingy and looks a little faded, but I have had it for 30+ yrs so I don't think it was ever deliberately doctored. Would fading do this? Will try to post a pic but I am a computer idiot. dave

The way to tell is easy.

When you look at it and say "I think it's brown....yep it's not black, definitely a brown tint to it.....yes, I'm almost certain it's brown"....then it's a faded black.

When you say "Holy Geez...now THAT'S a brown one!"...then it's brown.
