Did Ziploc teach us that yellow and blue make green? And on a half-tone printing process, if you remove the yellow, all you have left is the blue?

Edit: I guess my point is what are you trying to say? That this card should definitively be called a proof so it sells for more? I disagree.
Fading is a possibility but man that blue is so pure, and the black areas seem OK. Having worked in a print shop, it looks like missing ink. That doesn't make it a proof necessarily (or even likely) but a print screw-up like a blank back.
