Default Color variation on t206 kid elberfeld (washington)

Hello to all- wanted some help on this because of the rarity of this card. I have 2 psa 6's that have a vivid red background, i recently purchased an sgc 84 in a major auction house and the color is orange..... Any thoughts or opinions about a value difference?

'Orange instead of red' is fairly common on T206's, but of course the red is more common. I've never seen an orange-background Elberfeld, so very cool. A lot has been said about color anomalies in T206's, but what's nice about the orange background variations is that they look 'normal'. When I collected HOF'er portraits, I wasn't happy until I had an orange-background Tinker. Oddly, VCP chose the orange variation for their image:



You did good. Enjoy, but let me know if you want to divest yourself of it

Meant to respond to this, but got caught up thinking about the printing process. I'm kind of surprised no one's interested in chiming in here - the T205 'print flaw' topics died a quick death as well.

I have never seen the orange Elberfeld, Wash before, but I paid a lot for the orange-background Tinker I once had. One of my selling regrets.

Frank- it is not as vivid an orange as the 2 examples you scanned, but there is definitely a significant difference in the color versus the normal red background. I have tried to post scans before on net54, but i have adobe reader and can't figure out how to post them on the thread. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.... Kevin

The one Frank posted looks exactly like the one I had. He might have sold it to me.

Kevin - email the scan to me and I'll post it, plus do what I can to help you to it by yourself.
