Iggy, in the Cobb you posted how come the rest of the card isn't faded? I don't really understand how just the background is faded and the rest of the card looks "normal". I'm just curious.
Thanks Mike

Some colors are more lightfast or fugitive than others. Today art materials carry a rating for how well they stand up to prolonged exposure to light. Lithographers back then were very mindfull of how lightfast or fugitive an ink was but exceptions were made.

I'm just a recreational weekend softball player, so I'm way out of my league here and won't be able to intelligently answer your question. But at the end of the day, this is what I know to be true; the red color pigment used on T206 cards is more sensitive to ultraviolet light then the other colors. Thus, the other colors will eventually fade, but red will go first and at a much faster rate. That is the bottom line. Lovely Day...
