And I don't think the lack of red is due to exposure to light/sun...cards I have seen that have been exposed to sun (for example, ones with pin or tack holes) show a more uniform fading of all colors.
Just another fun T206 mystery.

It's possibly missing a red pass but I really don't think so. I've become very skeptical of these type of cards over the years of seeing them and owning some of them. The chemicals and sun have a different effect on different cards. Besides the red to orange the ones effected by chemicals/sun also all tend to have fading in the lips and face while some of the other colors are effected differently notice how the letters on Armbruster's shirt are blacker on the faded example and Beckley and Pickering's eyes are brown instead of blue in the faded examples.
