Has anyone seen this link on eBay:

First time I've seen this "variation." Does anyone have any insight on whether it's legit. or simply just faded?

Thanks!

just another case of the red ink running out. Personally, no big deal, but some t206 collectors seem to really want these printing errors. Makes no sense though why this wouldn't be legit since all those Boston cards are considered legit. Whatever that may mean to a collector.

Jay-Thanks for the response.
Upon closer inspection of the card, it appears that some of the features on the face are different, as well as some of the shadows on the uniform and the length of the writing. Maybe, maybe not.
Thanks again for your response--I think I'll pass on this one!

Jay is exactly right... and if shadows and the face look different, it is because some of the missing color is missing from there, too. This "variation" should be worth LESS than a normal card. But gas should cost less, too.

I am not sure it is totally the red ink running out because there seems to be some red above and below my guess is that it has some fading, not just low red ink.

What's the deal with Hoblitzel having all the variations all these different sets, lol
