Found this T206 missing magenta in my collection.

For the record, did I once try to collect T206 magenta-less cards? Sure, I have a couple, mostly beaters. In due time, I realized they were not all that rare (at least not like a W554 Ruth with an ad back). Plus, I could never convince myself that I could adequately ascertain whether these cards came out of the factory without the magenta or the lack of red was caused by some form of exposure to light.

Now you've got me questioning my missing ink card.

Sean,

Your T206 Beaumont is a cool card no matter what some guy with the first name of "Iggy" states on an internet forum. On a cold winters night, what better way to spend a romantic evening, then snuggling next to your wife/girlfriend and being able to reach into your stash of T206 cards and visually showing her(?) the two different color layers of a T206 card. Sean, you are a lucky guy............doesn't get any better.

Lovely Day...

I don't normally say this about a T206 thread, but this was a really interesting thread. I'm also perplexed why so many people are willing to pony up big cash for a card that is most likely damaged and not a factory error.

Sean, that's an interesting card. Here's another example which is now in an SGC slab graded "1" for obvious reasons. I was thinking that it would be graded "A" if there was some tampering with it but I'm really not sure. The bubbling does seem strange.

Forgive my perturbed look, but I have been away from the hobby for the past 1.75 years and I am not really sure what the heck has been happening to magenta-less T206 cards. To state the obvious, Sean's T206 Beaumont has a pin-hole, implying it was once prominently displayed on a wall (I'm thinking barn). While George's T206 Beaumont was taken to school during a chemistry experiment gone awry. Neither of these cards came out of the factory looking that way.

LOL I'm glad I was able to contribute to a T206 thread

For those with the glue on back theory - If the glue on the reverse affects the red on the front would it only affect the red from where the glue is on the reverse? What I mean is part of the orange on the front has NO glue residue on the back. Does the glue in the upper half of the card magically extract the red from the bottom portion?
Thanks,
Robert
