Default T206 - Sun damage?

Scan isn't the best, but, it is representative of the color scheme. (Also not my scan, ripped from the Ebay listing)

Bought this Oldring to replace a SGC40 I sold a few weeks ago. I've gone through pages and pages of the same card and it usually has a very distinct green background.



Do we think this is sun damage? Seems very faded. Also doesn't seem like a printing error as there is some green in there which would imply (as my kindergartener could tell you) that the yellow and blue ink passes went fine.

FWIW, the back printing is bold and sharp. Holder is also fine (though the gold sticker SGC variety which I believe is older)

Any immediate thoughts? Don't hold back. Thanks guys.
