Caught Sleeping. Who got Tom Jones?
I was bidding on a T205 Tom Jones and it slipped my mind to set a high bid snipe. The unique fact of the card is that it has a green saturation to it that makes Tom Jones looks as though he has a severe case of seasickness. Did anyone here end up buying this card or know where it’s at?

Awesome info guys. I was hoping this was part of a sheet because multiples would have been made. Apparently several sheets were oversaturated with the green. Great job on pointing out the plate issues.
I think this is always the best part of prewar. We just don't know enough because records weren't kept but the overall knowledge of this board answers a lot of questions about printing and issues.

Here's a larger photo from the ebay auction. I did not see the auction until you pointed it out. Looks like a nice card. Not sure why his face looks green. Here's a Leever I have with a pink background.

I have a very similar Tom Jones that could be from the same sheet. Seems like some sort of ink defect/switcheroo.
Not only does the face have that green-grey coloring, but so does the nameplate. Other print defects are the same, like the grey on the 3rd-base line, the broken line on the inside of 3rd base, and prominent dots above his left eye and between his head and 1st base. Also, they have very similar diamond cuts. Scans below show my card, along with closeups of his face and of the nameplace (compared to a "normal" Jones).

That's amazing, Michael. The one you have has to be from the same sheet. I felt bad that I got their jokes because it made me feel old...
