Regarding T206 brown LENOX cards......check-out this theory

[tedzan]

A week ago (or so) ago, Dan had two T80 Cairo Monopol cards listed on ebay.

Both listings displayed back scans. And, both back scans' printing was clearly BROWN.

So, as I have already stated, the normal color is brown on these T80 cards. There are
varying degrees of shading in the brown ink on the backs of these cards.


So, if a "black" lettering Cairo Monopol T80 exists, it is definitely a printing anomaly.

Thanks Ted - I guess that torpedo might've missed.

So, is anyone game for getting two of these side by side in Chicago? Maybe several T80s if there is some variation in the ink - the color on the Brown Lenox backs seems pretty consistent to me.
