GlennJay,
Are you saying that the card was printed this way, without (or with very little) red ink? If so, I agree. Have you seen other Goudeys with the same appearance?
Because the color of Ruth's uniform (which presumably requires hardly any red ink) is still quite bold, I tend to think the color was always like this and is not just the effect of years of fading. Also, as far as I can tell, the texture of the card is unaffected.
