Ink Colors used in T206

That's a tough one. Initial reaction to the higher res was that it was faded. It looks like some reddish tint there, and red fades horribly.

But knowing that they often overlaid pink with red and there being solid pink in the shadow across the body but what looks like none in the belt makes me think missing red.

I can also see why a grading company would be overly cautious and decide not to slab it as a missing color.

Someday I'll have to add looking at the minor missing colors compared to other missing colors and regular cards. I had a pair with a clear but kinda trivial missing red at one time and sold one of them. I still have the one missing red, but I'm pretty sure it's actually more common on that card

Yeah, that was my initial gut when I bought it. But then I started comparing it to other Gilbert's and noticed the layer of pink/buff under the red.

I don't blame SGC for not slabbing it, but I'm 100% certain it is missing that red color pass.

Looks to be missing the red pass to me, when you point out the pink/buff layer uderneath the card with the red. Nice card !!!

I've asked a few members their thoughts on this one and so far its been considered a missing magenta example. There is a slight buff/pinkish B there, similar colour to the face toning and what we see on Erick's Gilbert.

I'd like to list it in the BST and want to make sure I'm not misrepresenting the card.

Any input would be appreciated.

At first glance it appears that it is missing the final color pass in the printing process....RED.

But, on closer observation there is a noticeable hint of the "B" ....very interesting.

Neat card.

Chris - It reminds me of my Dahlen in that it has a faint B.

Those faded B's appear because pink was used first..missing red only

Ok, I'm a little late with the input. I would like to propose a rule regarding missing colors: Cards with glue stains are not missing magenta (or sometimes other colors)...something in a common adhesive clearly reacted with the magenta ink. They still look neat though.

I thought this would be a good thread to post this card in because of the discussion on the "flesh tone"/buff color on t206's.

I've seen numerous examples with a "magenta" shift

But I don't recall ever seeing one with a buff shift
