I think I had that red strip card. I always really loved it but I think I loved it more than anyone else.
It might have been a trial run, or one off, to see what they would look like in color.

I realize that there's plenty of cards out there that are missing color passes and even some cards that should have full color that you see the very scarce black & white version of. But my question is, how often do you see cards where a color pass has been ADDED, not subtracted during the final print run?
I have one here...a 1923 w572 that has a red tint for some reason or another. Any other colorized examples of B&W cards out there? Any theories as to why they'd have the color added?
