Well, generally you get missing red where you have glue. If the whole back was glued, then red is often missing from the whole card. I'll throw numbers out there...just guesses, so everyone can chime in if they feel like it.
10-20% of T206's have glue on the back
80%+ of missing red cards have glue/liquid staining
Do missing reds exist? Yeah...I think they do. Are a lot of so called missing reds a result of glue/chemical/water/sun? Yeah...probably. Everyone gets to make up their own mind, but I will pay a lot less for a stained missing red than a clean one.
