Also I know the Reniff GT is the pitching pose but someone mentioned to me that there could be a GT of the portrait pose. Is that correct?
Thanks again for the help. I'm busy looking for the slightly bigger PA speaker in the centerfield wall on the Dallas Green card, but otherwise I know what to look for and it's really helped because I have run across some dealers who advertise GT cards when they are not...

Who the heck is Don??

I'll post the pair of cards you asked about in a moment. I have never seen a Reniff portrait GT and am positively certain it does not exist. The green tints with card #139 are the pitching pose you mentioned as well as the Babe Ruth card. It seems to me card #159 wasn't printed at all during the GT phase (only the misnumbered #139) and was only found to be misnumbered 'later' on.

Thanks Darren.

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.
