Is this just a really bad scan or were these issued with different colors on the front top and back middle section? I have this Guerrero card and mine is bright orange like the sample card shown.

All mine are bright orange too so I'm leaning towards bad scan. ------------------------------- When night comes creeping in, Dark restless shades arise. Prepare to crawl and run. The Black is here tonight.

I am not blaming the member who scanned this as several of these are not showing the bright orange. It may be that some scanners are unable to get a good scan of it.

Some scanners have a REALLY hard time with certain pigments. I know my scanner had a heckuva time with the Archives "Day-Glo Orange" cards. I'd scan these bright, vibrant cards and they'd come out dull orange. Pale peach-like. Also, some of the more "fluorencent" inks used on the Star Co Rookie Guild series comes out really lame when scanned.

If you can provide better scans, please do so.
