The black fades very slowly on that year and the green fades very easily. The bottom card is where I think your card was and it looks like there was 3 cards laying on top of it in a similar pattern to the quick layout in my picture on the bottom of the post.

Awesome card Al, I have a Jose Rijo Desert Shield card with almost the same exact print flaw.
