Ok, this was a reply to Mark. Except I missed page11 and didn't quote. So it looks totally out of place. DOH!
That was the way they did things at the time. Not all of the inks were opaque, so layering worked very well and produced better color. The bright red is typically over at least pink. And many of the brown team logos on uniforms are brown over gray. It also allows a thinner ink coating, with two benefits. Better detail, and less ink used. Over millions of cards it probably worked out cheaper. It's similar to painting a car. Most just use the gray primer, but if the car is a dark color a good painter will use black primer. Or red under red, white under white. Gray under light colors. Steve B Last edited by steve B; 03-21-2014 at 08:52 AM. Reason: Added for clarity
