So is this Kelly the "apple green"? I didn't see it in the list or is it printed with both dark and apple? what one is more "rare" or is there no diff?

Your Kelly has a forest green Sovereign 350 back. That is the only Sovereign back that subject was printed with.

Regarding if one back is more "rare" than the other, you will find more forest green Sovereign 350's on the market than apple green. This is due to the total number of subjects printed with one back versus the other. If you're searching for a specific player you may have a different experience.

How many green's are there? How do you tell the diff? I know the dark, but forest and apple look pretty close?

[Abravefan11]

Once you know which subjects were produced in which print groups then you will have a good understanding of which should be found with which color back. That will eliminate any doubt.

Sovereign are some of the most important subsets for understanding the composition of the set at given times. All Sovereign subsets hold a key of some kind to the T206 set.

Reg

There are 402 different subjects that comprise a complete Sovereign set. Therefore, there are 336 different subjects [402 - 66 (apple-green subjects)] whose
backs were printed with the darker green color.

My experience in collecting these Sovereign cards is that of these 336, some are a normal green color while others are a deep forest green (see below example):

This variance in the normal green coloring could simply be due to aging of the cards.

Would this be considered an apple green back?

It does not look like an "apple green" back. But, it's hard to tell from your scan.
Who is on the front of this card and what pose ?
