Thanks Greg and Al.
I understand the misalignment defect that caused the gray strip and the ghost images with the Boston logo and the jersey text, but I am still not getting the error in color. All of the Pesky cards that I see on eBay or the other red background 1949 Bowmans that I have in my possession are a rich deep red color. (I am attaching a picture of the Pesky next to a Rosen card to show the difference in color.) My question is the difference in color have to do with natural sunlight fading, or is there another missing color in the Pesky card? In other words, are there two separate printing errors, poor alignment and missing color?
I appreciate the board's expertise and patience.
Best regards,
Joe
