Green & Grey: Protecting You From Overpaying if Framed

While browsing for new Andrew McCutchen cards for the PC I came across 2 eBay auctions with very low BIN prices.  After flipping through my pages and double checking my spreadsheet I in fact was missing these two framed parallels from 2017 Diamond Kings.

I present to you Grey & Green.

Sounds like a law firm.
"If you've been framed, Grey and Green can help."

Fortunately this collection didn't cause me to overpay as I acquired them for $4 shipped.

There are 9 different parallels to chase of Cutch's 2017 Diamond Kings release.  6 are framed color parallels with red (/99), brown (/49), blue (/5), and black (1/1) being the numbered variety.  The grey and green parallels you see above are not numbered.  I have the blue brown and red frames also, but will likely never get the black frame (1/1) as it has been sold to another collector already.

Grey vs. Gray

I finally got one of the last remaining parallels I was chasing from 2017 Heritage.
The grey back SSP (far right)

I've previously shown shortly after release the following
Gold Chrome /5
Flip Stock, Bright Yellow, Color Swap, Blue Border, and assorted chromes
Throwback SP yesterday

The issue I had when cataloging this particular card, was the spelling of it.

I always spell it grey, but Topps labels it as a Gray back.  Cardboard Connection has it listed as a Gray Back also.

In doing some quick research, both Gray and Grey are acceptable ways to spell the neutral color.

Despite the confusion with the spelling, I am extremely happy to cross this off the list.  I only need 2 chrome versions (Superfractor 1/1 and Purple Hot Box refractor).
