T206 Mordecai Brown "Orange" Portrait
Net54 Community,
I recently picked this up because I was intrigued by its orange hued background. Is this a known Mordecai portrait printing anomaly/variation? And if so, was it due to a missed stage in the multi-stage printing process? Any information would be appreciated! Thanks! |

the "orange" portraits seem to have waned in popularity. They used to command a nice premium. That said the color on yours seems borderline. The oranges that seemed popular were drastically different than the reds. Just my 2¢

Hi Eric,
Nice Modecai. To me, looks like yours missed the cyan pass, thus resulting in the orange background. I think they are cool and your seems to have a nice orange background. They aren't rare, but they aren't plentiful and don't pop up frequently either. It's a keeper for sure. Here's my Cobb for comparison. Similar backgrounds. |

Nice looking card Eric but as far as the missing color in my opinion it has the look of a card that could have been soaked
from an album and that can effect the color. I don't think the TPG's will grade any of the missing reds anymore because it's hard to tell if they're actually missing red or if it was the result of a clean soak. Here's a nice article that a board member did on his site about missing red cards. http://www.thatt206life.com/2016/12/...ed-t206-cards/ Last edited by Pat R; 12-13-2018 at 04:31 PM. |

Wow ... that Orange Cobb is a real beauty
Would have to imagine that would command an amazing premium in today's hot Cobb market.

The Frank Chance portrait on the left was so off that it even confused Psa who labeled it as the yellow portrait
For the record, I love the color oddities and pay a bit more for them when I see them.
