Nice orange T206 card Pat. So many of the 'orange variation' T206 cards have evidence of having been soaked, or back damage, like my Criger. And like yours, all the red color throughout my card is missing, including his face and lips. And I don't think the lack of red is due to exposure to light/sun...cards I have seen that have been exposed to sun (for example, ones with pin or tack holes) show a more uniform fading of all colors.

Just another fun T206 mystery.

Brian, we're on the same page. I believe yours, like Pat's, missed it's final red pass of ink. Nice card.

I think it's missing color. You can tell by seeing that his lips are missing the final red pass. Nice example.

It's possibly missing a red pass but I really don't think so. I've become very skeptical of these type of cards over the years of seeing them and owning some of them. The chemicals and sun have a different effect on different cards. Besides the red to orange the ones effected by chemicals/sun also all tend to have fading in the lips and face while some of the other colors are effected differently notice how the letters on Armbruster's shirt are blacker on the faded example and Beckley and Pickering's eyes are brown instead of blue in the faded examples.

+1. It's just damage, but it makes for a cool affect and a cool card to pair with a normal one. I love misprints and would like to believe, but almost none of these are 'real'.

These red-to-orange damaged cards are fairly easy to make, for the less honest folks.
