Darren.....Do you have all these posted somewhere out there? Or have a pamphlet for sale or something.....would love to have all of them in a single place to look at. Thanks.....

One of the toughest for me to find was the green tint variation of Fred Hutchinson, I just can't seem to find the "tell" which indicates it is the green tint. Any ideas?

On the Hutchinson, the easiest tell is in the cropping. On the "non-green" version, a portion of his right red sleeve can be seen. In the green version, only the smallest sliver can be seen.

Check out all of the greenies side-by-side with their non-greenie brothers on my Flickr page:

Hey Tom. I just have my proprietary version here on my computer.

I love the scans with the "tell" - nicely done!

I have a Flickr page with the regular & green tint versions side-by-side for comparison. Everyone is welcome to view it, & some of my fellow OBC members have even printed it off & taken it to shows to help with the hunt:

For the harder ones, look closely at the cropping differences. They are sometimes very subtle, but they are there.

Thank you Tom for the link to your page....as with Darren's work, your page is also most helpful. For me, several of the Ruth Special cards are the toughest to determine if they are GT or not and I find I almost always have to use the cropping differences as the determining factor. Your link makes it easy to do so.

Thank you Tom, your and Darren's answers have been extremely helpful as I wrap up the 1962 GT subset.

I forgot the thread we had going a long while back, but it featured a ton of cards that PSA, et al, had misidentified as green tints. Well, I ran into this blatantly wrong one tonight on ebay (and I don't even bother telling the sellers they have a mislabeled card anymore, because the sellers always ignore the facts and just leave the cards up)…

Yowza!!! Not even close. I think the folks at PSA could use my comprehensive GT guide. If anyone has any connections over there, PLMK.

In the current issue of SCD ( October 3), in his "Leading Off" column, Tim Bartsch, the SCD editor and gateway to getting variations listed in their catalog, writes generically about variations and variation collectors. He mentions that in an upcoming issue they will be looking "in depth" at the 62 green tints.

Darren---you may already be plugged into that effort. If not you may want to get in touch with him...tom.bartsch@fwmedia.com

Hey Al.
I contacted Tom a few weeks ago and we exchanged an e-mail or two regarding my comprehensive 1962 Green Tints Guide, but I haven't heard anything in a while, so it doesn't look like I'll be involved in that issue. Too bad.
