Take a look at the side by side photos in this listing. There does appear to be color differences, although it may be caused by the scanner. Some of the PSA card holders seem to be frosted and the black background doesn't come through and a few of the holders seem to be clear and the black background shows through, and these appear to be the ones with the darker colors in the box.

I wish I had a dozen raw cards to hold in my hand.

Thanks for posting that Rick. I'll try to post a few more pics of the ones I have tonight.

I should add that I've seen a lot of minor variance between the bright white and the tan colored ones that I would attribute to age, toning, etc. But some, like the Austin I posted are excessive and seem to be more than that.

I guess the real question is can you find different colors of the same player?

[Cozumeleno]

Hey Scott - yes you can. I looked previously for the Austin I posted with the orange-colored box and most examples I've seen have the white box.

I do wish your Austin example was as clean as your Drake. Not saying it's definitively toning, but I'd like to see the "colored" box on an otherwise clean card. EVERYTHING about the Austin is darker.

Just realized my full Austin photo never posted. Here it is.

I'll have to check my others once I get home to see if there's a cleaner one with the darker box. This card has a distinctly different color than the rest of it. I'd be inclined to believe it was just darker due to aging/cleanliness if the color matched the border. But this one does not and it's distinctly 'more orange.'

But point taken - I'll check the others I have once I get home tonight to see if there's a brighter one with the darker box.

Just based purely on the scan, I think that Austin just has some unusual wear. The name spot looks like pink/beige to me, and seeing the mold dots on other parts of it makes me think the pink is mold coloration.

I realize you have it in hand and may be seeing something different than I am just looking at a scan. I'm going to take a look at all mine now.
