Posted By: <b>marty</b><p>I have this e93 Mordecai Brown card that missing some color. There is no ink anywhere on the uniform area except for his belt. There are some shiny specs or crystals scattered on the card front. I have had this card for several years, and I do not recall how I got it, I am sure that it was part of a collection that I bought.<BR><BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1063342558.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1063342576.JPG">

Posted By: <b>marty</b><p>I do not smell bleach or anything that smells like chemical. I am going to take this card to the Fort Washington show and see if I can get help there. If anyone is willing to help me with it, I will be in booth 412.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>I see lots of paper displays sun-bleached here in SO CAL, and this looks a lot like what I see all over the place in store windows. The black and blue inks fade last.

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>Very cool card. Runscott, this card is right up your alley.<BR><BR>It's not faded at all. It's an example which came out of the testing process where the printer of E93 cards was still deciding which colors to use. In addition to this Brown I've seen Ames and Waddell cards, both using this blue for the background. Those cards were incomplete as far as the printing process is concerned as well.<BR><BR>For some reason the printer decided against this color blue for the backgrounds and went with red for Ames and green for Waddell & Brown for final production. I'm glad they decided against this color. I feel the red and green make for MUCH better looking cards.

Posted By: <b>runscott</b><p>but odd that they went ahead and printed the back, like the "brown/yellow...red" t206's.
