Oh No! Not another T206 Question!

Sorry guys, but I don't agree. The Phelps card is a printing flaw. Here are some of my similar printing flaws......

Maybe those other T206's are whatever....however, the cards I have shown here were all glued in an album for 80+ years when I acquired them.

Therefore, they were not "soaked", or subject to "fading", or affected by "chemicals". They are simply....printing flaws. I have quite a few more cards
from various other sets that have similar printing flaws (i.e., missing an ink pass in the multi-color printing process).

As someone who has done a fair amount of printing in my life, I am with Ted Z...I think something was laying on the plate on one of the color passes. Closer examination may persuade me differently. OTOH, I can't see why anyone would pay a premium for them....

I also feel it is not a chemical stain, if it were a stain I beleive not only the background would be discolored but the so would the player pose. also if it were a chemical stain wouldn't it soak throught o the reverse and discolor the ink there?

I guess I should not be surprised that 'discussions' regarding this topic are ignored.

Carry on boys.

Ignored? Yours is the 18th post in 3 days. Maybe some Valium, or less coffee would help you Scott . I would say it's a fairly civilized debate but what do I know? (answer- not much)

Don't be so predictable. More coffee might help

I am nearing a full pot of coffee this morning already. I generally quit at around 10:30am....LL
