I just (personally) see faded black in the Sub Rosa's and the T206 Willis.

But I'm just not seeing brown ink there.
There's only one Sub Rosa I'm seeing that may possibly be brown ink, and that's the example in post 13 with the severely rounded corners. The rest I just think are faded black.

Out of the dozens of black backs on the ATC 1909-1912 project, only a few are found in this coloring. If they were not printed this way and are faded back, why is it only a small subset of very specific backs? And how do I create this fading effect?
I feel comfortable it is a different back because of the subsets and that it is the solitary alleged faded color I cannot seem to make myself doctoring beater cards for research.
