I wrote an article on this set for a recent Gridiron Greats Magazine. Did you see it? Was a few issues ago.
Apparently Topps ran out of brown ink during printing and switch that panel of 25 cards to yellow. For a long time it was believe that the yellow version of these cards were more scarce but that has been shown not to be true. Browns are much tougher than yellows to find.
