Posted By: <b>Rick McQuillan</b><p>Hi,<br />Has anyone else come across this Gus Dorner color variation? The scanner doesn't do justice to the vivid differrence between the regular red background and the orange background card. Both are Piedmont 350 25/24.<br /><br />Rick<br /><br /><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g9/buymycards/dorner.jpg">

Posted By: <b>George</b><p>Rick,<br />All the T206 Dorner's that I've seen have the division with the different shades of red. The shading on the entire card looks lighter on the orange Dorner that the red Dorner. It's a neat looking card and IMO it's distinct from the standard red shading. Here's one I recently picked up with the ghost image on back. <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1194314320.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1194314338.JPG">

Posted By: <b>George</b><p>Hi Johnny,<br />Thanks....I recently picked it up on ebay. It did not indicate ghost image but I happened to run into it during one of my T206 searches. It's not a printer scrap....there was a recent thread on ghost variations which had some great vintage cards including some printer scraps. It was titled "Please show your ghost overprints." <br /><br />George
