t206 O'Leary red spot
 

I was looking to upgrade my t206 O'Leary, so off to eBay I went. Mike Wheat had a nice ex card, but I noticed a bright red spot under his eye. Is this normal? I have noticed some others that seem to have the same spot, just not as pronounced. Some appear to not have the spot. Insights?

I disagree Wazoo, it is nothing like a small black dot

That's just the presence or absence of the second red layer.

If you look closely all the ones that look like he's got lipstick have the red over the eye.

There's a number of cards with this sort of difference.
The one that comes to mind is Dygert. Lipstick/no lipstick.
I guess technically they're missing colors, but I think it's intentional since they're also fairly common.

Yeah, you're right. More like this: .

Do you think the players on these cards took a ribbing when the registration was off just a little and it looked like they had trouble putting on their lipstick?
