1934-36 Diamond Stars help
I need some help on determining if I have an error card not listed anywhere.
From my understanding, in 1936, all card backs were printed with blue ink. These are cards #85-108 and the reprints of previous years. Now, I know this set has errors, but they are usually listed.
I have a 1936 Diamond Stars #87 Steve O'Neill that the back was printed with GREEN ink. Would this be considered a misprint, error, or just considered a regular card?
I tried to find info about this before without any luck and set it aside. But I ran across the card again the other day. This has bugged me for a while; not knowing about this. I'm very picky about my cards and collection.
I'm hoping somebody might have some insight on this.

I'm not aware of any 1936's being printed in green, but I could be wrong. The guys over at net 54 may have a better answer. If memory serves Fritsch put out a reprint set in the 80's. It would have said reprint on the bottom about where the paper loss is. To check if it's a reprint put it under a black light. The spots of paper loss will likely flouresce.

You are correct. It is a reprint. The guys at net54 determined it was by looking at the front of the card.

I can't see the your pics, but the set was issued over the course of three years.
What I expect you are looking for is this one...

Sweet! Thanks! So, you couldn't see the pics? As in, you clicked on the hyperlinks and they didn't show up as a Google Drive file? Should have open a new tab and a shared Drive file with the particular photo...
