fkwI always thought the green ones might be scarcer. But the only reason was because the first 5-7 of these I saw were the redish-brown ones (this was back when the checklist was very incomplete and the green cards werent even noted in cataloges yet). Since then Ive seen about 1/2 and 1/2 between the 2 colors, so I think they are about the same. I do now know that the same player can be found in either color. I had a Donlin that was the redish-brown color, and yours pictured looks to be the greenish color.
Steve, Thanks for posting the pics, I had never seen the Henry Mathewson card before.
PS... with that surface chipped one in the auction, Ive seen at least 5 different Christy cards now that Im sure of.
Also looking at that auction Steve posted, these cards obviously sell for far more than they book at.
