Hi, I now have a master set including what I think are all of the green tints and variations. To say the 1962 Topps Set is quirky, is an understatement.
Some green tints are very subtle and hard to detect. I had to sit both normal and green tints side by side and really study closely to determine if it was a legitimate green tint or not. At the National, I have had to ask for the opinions of others on whether a card was a green tint or not, and even we got our heads together on a particular card, there was not strong agreement. A few years ago, PSA had an in-depth article about the all of the nuances of the 1962 set in the monthly magazine. Do you have the Babe Ruth foul pole and no foul pole versions with green grass instead of brown dirt? |

Does anyone have a copy/Scan of the PSA article by chance that goes into detail on these?

All of their SMR articles are on their website. Well, except for the ones they've scrubbed that make them look bad.

I just finished my 62 set 2 months again and was thinking of doing the green tint myself. I’m like maybe, maybe not, oh that’s going to be a pain, just don’t do it, think about it, it would be nice with the variations, still don’t do it, but think about it again, some tuff thoughts.......so maybe I’ll do it? But just happy to finish the base set for now!!!!

I used the '10 year old me' plan when I put the '62 set together. I built the regular full set and added the green tints and variations that I figured I would have noticed when I was opening packs in '62. That included the cards involved in the Reniff/Ruth debacle, the 'different pose' cards and the green tints that were the most obvious, Howie Koplitz, for example. I ended up with about 35 or 40 additional cards in sheets in the back of the '62 binder.
Once I wrap up a couple of the projects I'm working on I think I will finish off the green tint subset. '62 Topps was the most interesting(!?!) set build I've attempted.
