E90-1 "shaded" back variations?

[barrysloate]

Mantle was not the only white letter variation in 1969, there were numerous players whose previously yellow names appeared white. Were all these players part of the same sheet? If so, it may just be an inking error. If they appeared in different series, then it was probably a deliberate variation. Unfortunately, I don't remember which players have the white letter variation.

Barry - if there is yellow still on the card somewhere else.... it would indicate an intentional change and not an inking problem.

basically if the yellow is truly missing from the card - it would be missing everywhere not just in one spot (like Jeff's White Chase).

Again... not knowing the card - if there is yellow on the card somewhere else, I would call the 'white letter' a variation.

The e90-1 difference shown in this thread most definitely could be achieved through bad printing / print defect. Taking yellow out of a name but leaving it everywhere else would have to happen with some intent or active effort on someone's part.

Joe- absolutely correct, and that is what I was trying to figure out. That's why I asked whether all the white variations were on the same sheet. Then again, all 132 cards would have to be white, and they aren't.

the name is not important...

if there is a difference in the back, there is a difference in the back...

when only certain players have the "difference", it needs to be noted ...

especially it needs to be noted by TPG's labels...

Scott,

I'm one of the slower and denser members of this board, but I have taken away four truisms during my time here. For the record:

1. I never argue with Jeff Lichtman in matters of criminal defense.

2. I never argue with Barry Sloate in matters of spelling and grammar.

3. I never argue with Joe D. in technical matters concerning printing.

4. I always argue with Bruce Dorskind (Magna Cum Laude), on everything.
