This is the only example in black on green marbled card of which we are aware. We have offered only one other color combination in the past 20 years of our auctions. The 1989 Lopez sale contained two in different colors and the 1990 Brazer sale contained one in Red Orange (offered in the following lot), leading us to believe that each is unique.
