If you come back to the thread:

How common/uncommon are cards like this? Did if occur more often in the earlier print groups, or is the distribution pretty linear?
Anytime.

They're not all that common, but they don't get as much attention as the more spectacular ones.

I have a Beck SC350 that's missing pink and gray
And two odd ones, Wiltse portrait and Huggins that seem to be missing pink and maybe another color but it's harder to tell. Both 350s. It gives them a very washed out look.

There's a few 350's that look odd like that.

Adding to the problem of picking them out are the 350's that apparently are missing red deliberately. Dygert comes with and without a sort of lipstick look. Neither is at all hard to find. And I'm sure there are others.

I don't have much info about whether they're tougher for any particular print group. I'd have to think they're a bit easier for the 350's since there are so many 350's overall.
