Mark,

It could be - but they would have had to use 2 types of black ink. I've posted a portion of a cropped card in this post. On all the "brown" ink cards - they appear to have black ink on the front as well around the border. The "brown" ink on the front of the cards is all in the same spot (ie corners and back of card) - never the black trim oval around the players picture. The disparity in color between brown/black is more noticeable in person.
