T206 color with Brown Hindus
 

I have had a bunch of these over the years, and they all had pale color on the front compared to cards with common backs. Does anybody know why? I recently bought a Clark Griffith portrait and the color almost had a yellow hue to it....

is the card trimmed, miscut, off-center and in a holder from a grading company no one has ever heard of? can't wait to see it listed on the bst for 15 times what it's worth.

What a freaking idiot.... Why don't you grow up pal and get a freaking life??

yeah not cool.. Ole Ronnie gets an infraction...strike 1 in a 2 strike ballgame.

Curious. Maybe post a pic? I’m sure the t206 experts on the board will have well-reasoned theories if not an outright answer for you.

Doesn't appear to be universal as, at least to me, color on this one looks pretty vivid (despite the terrible focus).

You're right Bill, very nice card. Maybe it's just me!

I think the color problem is limited to the cards with the dark orange and red backgrounds. Those are frequently a different shade than their non-Hindu counterparts. Look up sales of the Tinker and red Chance portraits, those are the first two that come to mind. Beaumont too.

I used to have a Griffith and Bresnahan, but can't find the scans. Both were normal background color. Here are the only Hindu's that I used to own that I could find scans. Bryan is correct it seems to be the orange and red backgrounds that this occurs, in fact not uncommon at all.
