All of the black ink on the Gross scan was exposed to the sunlight, on the Turner card scan his first name was not exposed to the sunlight and his last name was.

On the Wayne Gross card you can see the very corner of the trophy wasn't exposed and it is a nice dark shiny black. The black on the rest of the cup is a duller slightly greyish black.

It's not really noticeable unless you are looking for it.

It is cool to see the changes on the 78 Topps cards. Each year fades a little different.
