But Pete, if the printer was making the decision himself about the final color adjustments, perhaps the "scrap" card was printed to get a good look at what the printer THOUGHT would be the final colors (a proof, by definition?). Perhaps he then decided that it didn't quite work - the brown needed to be replaced by blue, and so then had no further use for the Reulbach sheet and used it to set the presses for the Bugs Raymond printing (superimposed upside-down). I also found it curious (probably a coincidence) that Raymond is alphabetically the card previous to Reulbach in the t205 set.
