My 3 Lou Kretlow cards.

Al, this is what I wrote you about. Notice the 3 different colored fronts.
The raw black back one has a Peach look to it.
I was under the assumption that the black back variations only had yellow fronts and the orange fronts were strictly the red back variations?

In hand, there is a distinct difference, imo, between all 3.
In this black back link however, you can see some with different looking fronts so it takes away the possible fading explanation, imo.

My black back Kretlow looks like it is the same color as your raw one. Which front color do you think is more common, the raw one or the graded one?

I have no idea to be honest, Jay?

I was under the believe that there were only 2 different variations of this card; a yellow front/black back and an orange front/red back, but as you can see in this link, black back versions have both, or all 3 colored fronts.

Thanks for clearing that up, Al.

Like I wrote above, I thought there were only 2 variations of this card so it was confusing to me when I seen and obtained my Peach colored copy.
Do you have a link/site for that H&S super set?
