When I laid this card out alongside others for comparison the variation in color was very apparent. The Brown Lenox mirrors a Broad Leaf in color, while the Black Lenox I used matches the color of a Carolina Brights back. I am not sure if this holds up every time, but in this instance the difference appears to be quite distinct.

Derek, which one is brown? It doesn't show on my iPad, and both flips say "black." I'm just curious, I know most people say it really shows in person.

Good morning Ed.

The Joe Lake "St. Louis, no ball" would be an example of a Brown Lenox. This is the first I have ever seen in person and the first thing I noticed was that a Brown Lenox matches a Broad Leaf in color and that a Black Lenox matches a Carolina Brights in color. It is quite distinct in person, and should you come to Southern California in the future I would love to share it with you.

The Schlei portraits in this thread appear to be very distinct as well with a blatant Brown VS Black.

My apologies, but which "flips" are you referring to in your question? I do not think I actually answered your question

Respectfully,

Derek
