Orange instead of red (and the others) should sell for less, not more. It’s damage.

I have had these same thoughts as well. But then I wonder, why is the color fade so even across the entire card? Wouldn't the color fade be "blotchy" instead of even if it were due to glue or a foreign substance on the back?

And with the sun faded cards I've seen, all of the colors are affected. Yes, some more than others, but the entire card is noticeably faded.

Another thought. If these oddities where due to glue, wouldn't we see more copies since so many cards from this area were stored in albums?
