The lines and flower image on your card look like the bottom of a Sweet Caporal T206 card to me.
There was probably a SC T206 card stored on top of your card for quite a while, and during that time the red ink on the back of the T206 affected the gold gilding on the T205. My thoughts anyway. Cool card none the less!

If so, then those shapes between Gray’s portrait and his name could be from a T206 Sweet Cap overprint graphic. From the photo, they look similar with the swirls and wedges in that pattern.

Wow nice detective work, I didn't go there. Was hoping that it was some link to full 400 design mystery of the T205 set design. Still interesting that the red ink would interact that way. Good jobs. Last edited by nebboy; 03-16-2020 at 09:26 AM. |
