Strange Green Tint Tidbit...

[savedfrommyspokes]

A while back, a green tint hoarder sold me 25 complete runs of the green tint set. By far and away the Geiger card is the most consistently seen card that is short l/r. Naragon, 164, and Javier, 118, are both also routinely seen short, but nowhere near as often as the 117. The Ruth 139 card is also a frequently short card. Over the last few runs I went through, here are the card #s of cards I found to be short l/r: 111, 115, 117, 118, 131, 132, 135, 139, 145, 155, 157, 164, 171, 173, 175, 180, 182, 194..

This list is not intended to be all inclusive, as it is only based on 3-4 runs total. There may be other frequently short measuring cards missing from the list due to the fact that the copies in the runs I went through all measured up.

When I have more time, I can go through the remaining 15 or so runs and provide more detail.

Based on Darren's list, I have also encountered the 165 card short multiple times, however, have maybe only seen one or so of the 160 cards short.

25 ? Larry-- you and Darren would turn Kermit green with envy.

Yes Al, 25 runs of the 62 GT sub set....I think this collector still has many more runs, however, he is no longer collecting. This collector is as familiar with and as passionate about 62 GTs as Carlton is with 68 MBs. Since this collector stopped building runs last year, the "supply" of most GTs on ebay has surged.

About 10 years ago, before all of the hoopla with the 62 GTs arose, I finished my run.....minus the image variations, it was quite easy as most people did not actively collect them.
