Change of Pace: 1962 Green Tints (scan heavy)

[brob28]

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??

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?

For one thing there were 2 separate printers used...different companies

Grant - Darren, thank you. Darren, nice work.

Al I had heard that there was a second printing plate made for a second printer to help with larger than ususal production needs in the 2nd series. After the second series this was stopped - perhaps due to the color being botched by the second printer. Have you heard/read similar?

Still seems odd that the cropping would be different, despite the second print plate being made. Doesnt seem like it woudl be too difficult to match them perfectly given techniques in the '60's.
