Default 1962T Green Tint

I recently purchased a sizable collection from the 50s and 60s. Some of the 62s were designated as green tint. I’ve heard that this exists but am otherwise clueless.

Can someone plz explain a bit more? How rare and/or collectible is this variation? Do these cards actually bring a premium?

Thanks
Scott

There are a couple of threads on the post-war section of the boards that explain them. Most top out around $10 in raw NM condition. Basically, they were printed at a different printing house with different proofs. You can see some of the tape in the card images of green tints where they basically put the sheet back together in order to make the printing plates.
Cards are oversaturated with colors that give them a green hue, and most have cropping differences. Clarity is lacking on most. Some even have entirely different images.

PSA used to differentiate them, but stopped doing that a few years ago. I guess they had gotten enough wrong and had to pay for reslabbing that they decided to forego the Green Tint designation for the most part.

Hi, I now have a master set including what I think are all of the green tints and variations. To say the 1962 Topps Set is quirky, is an understatement.

Some green tints are very subtle and hard to detect. I had to sit both normal and green tints side by side and really study closely to determine if it was a legitimate green tint or not.

At the National, I have had to ask for the opinions of others on whether a card was a green tint or not, and even we got our heads together on a particular card, there was not strong agreement.

A few years ago, PSA had an in-depth article about the all of the nuances of the 1962 set in the monthly magazine.

Do you have the Babe Ruth foul pole and no foul pole versions with green grass instead of brown dirt?

Does anyone have a copy/Scan of the PSA article by chance that goes into detail on these?

All of their SMR articles are on their website. Well, except for the ones they've scrubbed that make them look bad.

I just finished my 62 set 2 months again and was thinking of doing the green tint myself. I’m like maybe, maybe not, oh that’s going to be a pain, just don’t do it, think about it, it would be nice with the variations, still don’t do it, but think about it again, some tuff thoughts.......so maybe I’ll do it? But just happy to finish the base set for now!!!!

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.

Default green tint

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.
