Caramel/Tobacco cards that are missing a color layer....

Posted By: Brian McQueen

I was curious as to what sets out there have been known to produce cards with different background color or any sort of a color variation due to cards missing a step during their original print run. The grey e94 that I picked up on BST the other day (Thanks Andy!) is a neat example of what I'm talking about. I've also seen e94s with a bright orange background. However, I was curious if these sort of printing gaffes occurred in other sets as well.

A few other variations like this that I've seen include -

- the e90-3 Smith, Tinker and Payne all have blue/blue-ish versions due to their missing a green color pass.

- t210s can be found with the neon orange borders

- I've heard that d311s can sometimes be found with players standing on blue-ish colored grass instead of green. I haven't seen one of these though.

- Blank backed/handcut e93s and e97s sometimes were printed with color layers missing as well

Anyone out there know of any others?

There are a few 1910 Obaks spotted where the grass is blue instead of green. Until now there hasn't been much of a price increase for these cards unless 2 Obak collectors both spot them and get in to a bidding war.

hi brian,
you are welcome and the card is shipping today (columbus day slowed me down yesterday).
the obvious ones are from t206......sweeney (and others) missing the red ink, thus the no "b" sweeney.
my favorite is the orange cobb discussed on this board at length.
i will post a scan of the orange cobb tonight.

Nice Cobb, Andy. Oftentimes, when people say orange the card turns out to be faded red. In this case though, there is no question your Cobb is orange.

I use a PhotoBucket account, its free and its a nice place to store you scans for later use.

Once i have my scans in photobucket i right click "copy image location" and paste in a post here.

hi scott,
you can also just post it from your hard drive.
hit the "insert object" tab at the bottom and then hit "temporary files", then hit "upload" (on the bottom) then "browse" and and select the file. then hit the other "upload" (next to browse) and then hit the "insert file".

that should get it done, the pic will stay up about a week.

best,
andy

This one is no longer mine (I sold it about a year and a half ago.), but it is another example of the orange Cobb.
