•1962 GREEN TINT VARIATIONS, by Tom Housley

When I click on the directory, it just shows the member names and under Housley, I can't find the article you mentioned. I also did a search for "1962 GREEN TINT VARIATIONS" on the site and found nothing pertinent.

OK, did a web search and found it.
Both versions of each card are shown, so it's nice to see, but what I'm putting together gives you the green tint 'tells.' In other words, if you are looking at a lone example of a card, I'm going to give you specific things to look for to determine whether or not said card is a GT.

Very helpful Richard, thanks for posting.

Darren, go to "Library" then "All about the cards" there you will find "62 Green tint variations". Very helpful to see them side by side, even with that view some are tough. The White Sox team card and Babe's Farewll are two where I can't really see any cropping difference. Any help??

...is one of my heroes in the world of variants. We could all take lessons.

The '62 White Sox card-I think with the regular version, 2nd row on the far left, his elbow is quite a ways from the left edge. The tint (IMO) is the one where his elbow almost touches the border. This one is also a little out of focus on my card. Ruth's Farewell has slight cropping differences, and the color is washed out, some more than others.

Bill,
These 2 pages from my treatise on GT's should explain everything for you. The resolution isn't too great, unfortunately, but you should still be able to see what I'm pointing out without too much difficulty.

Just look towards the red circles...

So what is the explanation as to why there are cropping differences between the regular and green tint cards?

Hi everyone,
The subject line caught my eye - and here is the direct link to the my photos of the '62 green tints:

I scanned all of the greenies side-by-side next to their non-greenie brothers one day when I was recovering from foot surgery & was confined to a chair.
Enjoy!

In the side-by-side photos, the green tint is always on the left & the corrected, non-green version is one the right.

Click around on the options; you should be able to see the original-sized photos rather than the smaller thumbnails.

Enjoy!

That's really cool. I had more than I thought.

Nice work Tom, I've used that quite a bit while working on my GT's.

Glad to help. I know those things are tricky - I ended up squinting at eBay listings a LOT trying to determine cropping differences etc - so I thought I'd make a small contribution to help my fellow variation-afflicted collectors.

Thanks for chipping in, Tom
