Color "error" variations in t206 cards

[atx840]

If this Lord or Crandall hit the market they could be listed as missing red.

Chris- thanks for illustrating my point. UV rays are killer, and can easily fade colors...so can excess exposure to indoor bulbs.

Chris,

That piece has faded everything and cards that are heavily glued down, stained, etc. Yes, I see there's a window in the photo, but I don't think it's the culprit.

It faded certain parts of each card more extremely? The Schmidt and Cobb (for example) had much heavier sun exposure on the bottom half of the card?

they do it on everything from the siding on your house, to the paint on your car the baseball cards you hang in a sunny place.

The Mitchell has the same sort of fading that the small lot I bought had.
NO bright red left, and about 40 years of light exposure.
Lobert and Downey would pass for missing colors, and someone posted that a couple cards from the same batch have been slabbed that way.

Yes, It could also be the glue or the cardboard/paper they were glued to. But most likely it was the light exposure.
