Certain cards (like Abstein for example) just have a wide amount of red/orange tones and are completely legit.

I totally agree with Rob's three points here. As a grown-up, I've been collecting Sportscards of all varieties since 1977.....and, T206's for the past 34 years.
I have yet to see a "faded" T206 due to sun exposure.

Furthermore, the few T206's that I have seen that appear to have been tampered with (chemically, or otherwise) are quite easy to detect.

Really Ted? I have and seen plenty of them. Glad someone posted the above from Huggins & Scott because it was one of the more recent examples of UV damage from sunlight or artificial light IMO.

Here’s another example no doubt this was exposed to quite a bit of UV overtime from the original framing and old glass it was behind. Hence why my copy on the left is more pink than red.

Ok. Sun can cause some fading. So can other variables after the printing process. In my opinion, a very small percentage of the color errors that are out there are caused by sunlight.

Note that I was referring to individual T206 cards. Not posters of cards.

However, speaking about "posters"....the discoloration of the Red Cobb and the Boss Schmidt cards on the poster that Chris has displayed is the result of something
more than just "sun exposure" fading. There is no way that those two cards got to look the way they do, due to fading.

Ted, you may want to re-read this thread. Those are not posters of cards they are cards made into a folk art display that were in Huggins & Scott. So those are T206 cards with faded colors FWIW.

My image was just showing that Red is the first color to go on many printed or even painted surfaces. This is common knowledge and nothing to out there in terms of and idea.

Cheers,

John
