1967 Topps color freak
just noticed this one; i don't think it is a stain since there is no warping or discoloration on the front.

Looks to be sun faded in the lighter colored area. Because of the pattern it looks to have been in the sun/showcase/shelf or whatever with some cards covering part of the back.

maybe
that is a plausible explanation, however, the irregular pattern of the discoloration would mean that the sun hit it in a very chaotic pattern for long periods of time in different locations on the card.

I am not a print guru like Ben and Steve so not sure if it is print defect or sun damage. I have some like it but generally only pursue defects that are recurring rather than one off....although some can be pretty dramatic

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

fades quickly?
the cards would have to lay in that position for an extended period of time without being moved while still being exposed to the sun. the fade would be to a lighter shade of green if it were exposed to the sun; your explanation has no merit.

cards
that is a very nice color splatter Al;
as for my card, wouldn't we also expect the black print letters to be faded also in comparison to the rest of the print? |

Yeah, that one is a tough call. But if I had to vote, I'd say an issue during the printing of the cyan/yellow plates caused the anomaly. Sunlight (most likely) would've faded the black (even a little bit) as well, so I don't believe it was a post-production occurrence.
