Ink Colors used in T206

[atx840]

I've asked a few members their thoughts on this one and so far its been considered a missing magenta example. There is a slight buff/pinkish B there, similar colour to the face toning and what we see on Erick's Gilbert.

I'd like to list it in the BST and want to make sure I'm not misrepresenting the card.

Any input would be appreciated.

At first glance it appears that it is missing the final color pass in the printing process....RED.

But, on closer observation there is a noticeable hint of the "B" ....very interesting.

Neat card.

Chris - It reminds me of my Dahlen in that it has a faint B.

Those faded B's appear because pink was used first..missing red only

Interesting that they're both Boston Nat'l players with green backgrounds.

Haven't seen these before...missing or faded?

Chris - I'd say both are missing some red ink. Neither look sun faded to me. Nice cards! You're on a roll with these missing ink cards.

Ok, I'm a little late with the input. I would like to propose a rule regarding missing colors: Cards with glue stains are not missing magenta (or sometimes other colors)...something in a common adhesive clearly reacted with the magenta ink. They still look neat though.

I thought this would be a good thread to post this card in because of the discussion on the "flesh tone"/buff color on t206's.

I've seen numerous examples with a "magenta" shift

But I don't recall ever seeing one with a buff shift
