Default Tinker Yellow Background Variation
I realize this is an old thread, but I found this after Googling "Tinker T206 Yellow Background". The consensus here seems to be that the card shown in the original post is faded or otherwise 'not from the factory like that'. It turns out that I have a Tinker T206 portrait with the exact same background... I doubt that two cards faded in exactly the same fashion. Possibly missing red ink, but then the face seems to have red tones... Wondering if anyone else has seen this background variation. Also wondering if anyone can figure out why this card was graded PSA 2...

I always like to see the backs... that Tinker looks "suspect" to me at a glance.

Over the last year or two I have found numerous examples of the yellow Tinker. It's 100% neither faded nor the result of glue. There are approximately 10 floating out there (maybe more).... It's either truly "missing red" or was produced at the end of the production line when the red was running low. Ive had mine for 20 years and purchased it for a minimal amount. Great card!

Great card John. Is it ironic that both of our cards have some sort of crease (or line) on the upper middle-right portion of the card near Tinker's head/hair??

The Line that you are referring to is not a crease at all and can also be seen on the Red Tinker Portraits if you look closely. It is where the Dark Red and Lighter Red come together.
