Jantz, Mike--Thanks for the comments.

Mac--If you are somehow suggesting that solvents are responsible for the missing red ink on this card you are wrong. The back staining appears to be nothing more than the result of the card having been mounted and carefully removed from an album at some point, which also explains why the corners are so nice.

(edited to say: Mac--Let me revise and extend my remarks and say that I am merely skeptical of your take on this card. I am not a PhD chemist. If a known adhesive applied to the back of a card can through chemical reaction remove all of the red ink from the front of the card without otherwise disturbing the front of the card in any way, shape or form then perhaps that is what happened here. But if that is the case I wonder why we haven't seen T206 doctors churning out missing red ink cards by the dozens.)
