Great detective work.

I have a yellow belt Ritchey similiar to the one shown above...will scan and share when I have the chance. This is only the second one I have seen.

Here is my Ritchey, which is very similar to the one in the OP group scans. Is the yellow belt (instead of the normal red) the result of a missing pass of red? Mine also still has a faint amount of red on his cap and collar.

I would say that the Ritchey is missing the red pass; the color you see on the hat is not faded red, it is pink/buff which was a separate pass. The yellow belt probably exists on every Ritchey, with the Red pass right over the top. Dig through scans of Ritchey looking for a red offset that exposes the yellow belt or pink on the hat.

I had a Gilbert that I was convinced was missing Red, but SGC wouldn't slab it. See this post:

Thanks Erick...I'll have to check out offset Ritcheys in the future for hints of the yellow belt. It looks like they used the same yellow color for the base color of his bat.

Brian, if the scans go through big enough to show it, here are a few with
yellow showing around the belt.

Sean, never did ask. Do you plan on selling these cards? Are they your personal collection or cards you bought for yourself.

Not sure what the concept beyond simple sharing was when you posted these. I assume if they are for sale you will disclose the issues pointed out with many of these cards etc.

Just wondering as I know some others are.

Thanks Pat for all the examples. You can definitely see what is going on with the color overlays. Now I don't have to search around for evidence of yellow belts on Ritchey. Perhaps I will spend my newly acquired free time searching for T206 cards with unusual uniform stains instead.
