Please Please Please read my profile before making a trade proposal. My "wants" for my Cardinals collection is accurate from 1900 - 2008. I still have about 12,000Plus Cardinals cards from 2009-present to sort through and enter. Please do not offer any Cardinals cards from 2008-present unless you contact me first as there is a chance I already have it amongst the multitude to still go through.

I still have about 30K Cardinals duplicates that are not yet entered in the database as FS/FT.

Usually in cases where the colors were different in older/vintage cards it has to do with when or where they were printed. Some sheets may have been printed as the ink was starting to run low and those would be the lighter color cards or a different ink all together. In the 1991 Topps Baseball release Topps used different ink, unintentionally, and one of the inks actually glows under a black light.
