There was probably a SC T206 card stored on top of your card for quite a while, and during that time the red ink on the back of the T206 affected the gold gilding on the T205.

My thoughts anyway. Cool card none the less!

That’s a good theory.

If so, then those shapes between Gray’s portrait and his name could be from a T206 Sweet Cap overprint graphic. From the photo, they look similar with the swirls and wedges in that pattern.
