So what Scott is really saying is that the card they have is a variation of the color black that looks more brown than most other blacks, but definitely isn't a Brown Old Mill as we know them correct?

I might be up for that challenge gents.
It's my dad's card (and almost entirely his collection). But since we believe in the visual difference, if we can agree to the rules, and if my dad agrees - I'm game. What are you putting up as the prize to be won? SGL

I have an average T206 collection I can anti. Of course you would have to look at it and decide if it rates as collateral. Sounds like a fun challenge! Maybe the board members could have a friendly poll or vote at the top of the thread.

Not a wise bet, as the card in question almost certainly has some other distinctive marking or toning someplace that could be relied on to pick it out of a crowd, and in any event even if it is slightly lighter (as from a light strike?) that doth not make it brown.

The outcome of of the bet would be entertaining but in my opinion wouldn't change anything regarding the card. Based on what we know about Brown Old Mills this card is not one so the flip is wrong and stating it's a Brown Old Mill is misleading.
If you feel it's a color variation of a black Old Mill that is fine but it should be presented as just that and not Brown.
