Your not being a pain.....I went out on a limb with that explanation....and now I
am on the ground. It was a soft landing, though, no problem.
At this point I think we all are mystified by this Claude Ritchey "sky" phenomena.
But, you got to give it to us, sooner or later we will "flush-out" any mysterious card.
However, we haven't seen those "350" cards of Ames, Ewing, or Lindaman....yet ?
Anyhow, I will stick to my "150 Pale Blue......350/460 Deep Blue" theory. There is a
definite distinction in these colors between Series. The T206 guys were not "skimpy"
with the Blue ink when they printed the 350/460 Series cards; as they were when
they printed the 150 Series cards.
I am still not certain where we stand on the EPDG introduction, since your initial
example of a Ritchey (EPDG) card without the "sky effect" was to be considered
a 150 benchmark. But, then doesn't the appearance of a P150 Ritchey muck-up
your above argument ?
