Yellow was the base background color and the second ink pass applied to darken the background is still evident on the card.
Not saying it isn't possible, but its kind of a stretch to think that the sun faded off only the top layer of background ink and stopped there. Maybe I'm wrong though.
Clayton - I wish the glue on the back of that McGinnity had leached out all of the red ink. Then my McGinnity would be a blank back!

Jantz, you bring up an excellent point, and it's something I've been overlooking in all of this. I also remember you've brought this up before in the past- if the glue would remove the red from the front, how could it not affect the red on the back?
So, it seems that we could rule that out on the McGinnity. It also has me wondering about the cards on the montage-I wonder how the backs of those cards look.
This has been a great conversation, I love these kinds of threads.
I'm still not sure about the sunlight removing all of the red on a card-fading, I can buy that one i guess-just having trouble with the sun being able to remove all traces of red, so that you would never know it was even there.Maybe it's possible, and I am wrong.That's my stumbling block in all of this.
Sincerely, Clayton
