T206 "error" on eBay

[novakjr]

I don't know about "legit" printing error. But these anomalies are highly collectible. These irregular cards have almost a cult-like following..

Have printing errors, similar to this one, been seen before? Where one color gets omitted?

Since you asked, I would pay a slight premium for one (+$5 to +$10, but nothing more unless the color variation was retro tie-die cool). For the past year, I've tried to collect T206 with orange backgrounds that would otherwise be red. I've picked up 18 different ones. They are not as rare as Lenox back cards, more inline with an EPDG back (probably more so). I've noticed that the T206 Beaumont, O'Leary and Snodgrass (batting) are much more common with orange/yellowish backgrounds then other T206 cards, but talk to me in ten years when I have more data.

The "B" is missing from his jersey. That is certainly a legitimate color variation.

Perhaps you are right Barry, but the "B" is not missing. It's there, just not in red.

I know, I can see a shadow of the "B". But the red ink is missing and to me that's a cool card.
