Default My opinion is changed too

I used to think the Blue Aaron was real based on this uncut sheet ... BUT if you look closely at the bottom row of cards (especially the left side of the sheet) you can see that there is a clear stripe where there is bright yellow. It sure looks like the full sheet got left in the sun, but someone had piece of paper (?) over a small portion of it at the bottom. You can also see how the other cards look faded versus those ones.

It is interesting that the Logan and Burdette cards didn't turn blue ... but you can see the clear line where they were/were not in the sun ... so they did change, just not as much as Aaron.

(Oh and if you look closely on Ebay - you will find single cards that match the fading on this sheet. There are usually 2-3 Mays cards for example that you can spot without a bright yellow bar at the bottom.)
