Re: Color Variations

Dwain, as you collect, you will find many occasions when a card you check against one you had will be exactly the same, except the colors may have changed a bit. This happens when a print run of the cards is done with the inks being mixed a little different and the green has a smidge more blue the first time, a bit more yellow the next. The type 3 and 4 cards from Arizona Charlies in Las Vegas were famous for this. The sepia colors ran to bluish in some cards, reddish in others. But minor color shifts are hard to document, even here on the web, as the color differences are sometimes so slight that the human eye can spot them, but when you scan the cards, they look the same.
