John,

You are right, I gave Chan way too much credit, my T206 museum statement was meant more as a bad attempt at humor. Nothing more, you can take your shots at me if you like, I've always been a big admirer of your wit. I'm not implying that card doctors are making the color red disappear, but the reality is that the color red on T206 cards can fade. Thus, if that is a true statement, it makes all these cards irrelevant, no matter how many cool orange background cards Ted Z might show. Here is a classic example of a red background card that was probably exposed to light.

Perhaps it came out of the factory that way, but in reality the color red faded except in the upper right corner. Now, did cards come out of the factory with orange background or missing red.............of course! Can the run of the mill T206 collector tell the difference between a "factory" created or "faded" missing red??? Nope, and I'm sure most DNA certified T206 experts couldn't either!

Lovely Day...
