On the face of it, they all definitely have the appearance of being sun-scorched, so it's an uphill battle to convince people otherwise.
Doesn't mean that's what happened, but in the old 'think horses, not zebras' manner, it would be the simplest answer. But, who the eff knows???
On a side note, I downloaded the pic and it sure does look like there is some yellow ink in the horizontal nameplate area of the SGC 2. That sort of highlights the problem. If any of these are in fact missing ink variations, it wouldn't mean that they all are. Again, you got yourself a no-win situation. YOWZA!!
Good luck with it all!!!

In hand if you are shown what to look for it is really easy to see the difference between a missing color card and a faded one. Simple version: Put a nice full color version on the table. Then set your Mystery card beside it. If it looks dull in color it is faded. If it looks exactly the same with nice bright colors except one color is missing it is a real print error.
I love print errors and had to learn this lesson the hard very expensive way. I was beyond pissed off when I learned 99% of the cards I had paid good premiums for from supposed hobby good guys was a bunch of faded garbage from the hobby scum.
