And it is something I...It's a good observation. And it is something I have on my plate to tackle at some point. I even have my 'color combo' spreadsheet worked up, sort of. Looking quickly at the two cards I ::think:: they are the same shade of blue, or close enough to believe that the variance is in the printing process of due to the effects of time. I did a close look at the colors of the '59 set <a href="https://59toppsblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/colors-of-1959-overview.html" rel="nofollow">(click here)</a> and the green, light blues, reds and oranges were tricky. <br /><br />I'm glad a few other people are interested!Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2363828833588549892.post-24452367452801066662019-05-21T12:29:07.078-05:002019-05-21T12:29:07.078-05:00Maybe I'm jumping the gun here and it's so...Maybe I'm jumping the gun here and it's something you're going to talk about later, but is the blue on this card (and on the previous Hal Brown card) considered "Dark Blue" as opposed to the blue on the Brooks Robinson card you profiled in 2015 and feature in your banner? The blue on the Brooks card looks like it might be a lighter shade, which isn't used after the first series. Maybe it's just an optical illusion because of the other colors used on the card.bobrzikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09438828881383282684noreply@blogger.com
