PSA Still Suffers from 1962 Green Tints-itis

I did just find this, which apparently shows the detailed differences in each of the 89 cards:

Twenty years ago I put a green tint set together. Lacking any reference, I just compared listings on eBay to determine which version was the green tint. It took a while and tested my patience but it worked.

I relied on that page quite a bit when I was doing my '62 set. I decided that I would chase just the photo variations and also include a few selected pure GTs just as a sampling. I ended up with about 25 in all. One day I may make the effort to get the whole GT series run but now I have too many other things going on.

As to the OP...I'm not surprised. I don't pursue graded cards for the most part but I do use them as references. I gave up on relying on them for the '62 chase.

Cool. They are intriguing. I just bought raw copies of the regular Hoeft and the Hoeft greenie on eBay. Guess I'll see if they are still intriguing when they arrive!

Ha, Bob I was doing a random google search for 1962 Topps blogs, and came across yours and the entry about the last card in the set. Not even specifically about '62 Topps - but just wanted to say it looks like you have a very extensive and neat blog. I will have to revisit later when I have more time!

I asked earlier about what if any premiums applied to the GTs currently. It was my impression that even though the GT pose variations are not any scarcer than the other GTs, they brought a higher premium than the non pose GTs because of greater market demand. If you collect variations for master sets and do not view the GTs as true variations ( I do), you still need the pose variations, particularly if you are a registery collector.
