Tell tale on the Evers (in my opinion) is the faded brown. The name caption is faded in much the same way as "Cubs" on his chest is faded.

This Coles sure looks like that McCauley up at the start of this thread, though Erick has convinced me it is just faded red.

I don't recall seeing a card with faded brown. Even the ones I bought that had 40 years of light exposure had captions that weren't faded.

It's possible the brown layer got printed in gray rather than brown. But that's a very unusual mistake.

Hi all, I'm Chris. I've been a member for about a year and recently starting following more closely, but haven't been posting. Time to change that.

Here are my two Gilberts missing red. The one on the right was discussed in a recent thread: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...ilbert+missing (normal Gilbert pictured there too). The one on the left I recently picked up for next to nothing on ebay. It's very heavy on green and brown, but lacks red. It also has massive back damage. Regarding the backs, other than reasonable skepticism and noted correlation is there any evidence that certain compounds applied to the back (or directly to the front for that matter) actually do preferentially remove red leaving other colors untouched?
