The Flynn didn't seem like a printing incident because it seemed to flow with the wrinkles/creases and you can see it in some of the loss of the gold. Then I received the Beck and saw that it, too, showed pink in the gold loss also. If these aren't printing freaks they look like they could have happened at the same time. The Beck convinces me more that the Flynn may also be one.
So what happened did some magenta spill onto the press? |

Somebody spilled something on them after they were well-loved.

I had conceded that this was a stain after the fact,
UNTIL I was looking at the scans again today.
I noticed that the Darker Yellow seems to avoid the pink. The pink over flow is very dark on the surrounding spots but not on where the yellow was laid down. I am now starting to think the reason it shows on the crease so much is because the white paper is showing through that was soaked heavily by the pink somewhere during the printing process (maybe a spill) then when the rest of the plates printed their respective colors it pushed the ink out of the way and printed on top of it this would also explain how it halos the head so well, but crackles on the face area.
