New T205 Website with Master Checklist

I added it for three reasons. First, the description of the card states that there was no staining and that the pink was actually printed. If it was missing a color, I wouldn't have added it. Second, I thought maybe listing it would discover others with the pink diamond. Third, If a yellow elephant is accepted, then a pink diamond should be too. I haven't had any other feedback on the pink variation and can be removed at any time. What does everyone else think?

All the white card stock is pink meaning it is a saturated stain or ink pass. A simple error. The Collins yellow elephant was discovered by Turner and has at least 4 different examples to show, and the yellow is only over the elephants white and none of the other white of the card. Walsh is a simple print anomaly with extra ink no different then the Neal Ball I have missing the red ink. Also not another single card has ever surfaced with pink ink in the white area to even remotely solidify that the card was part of a sheet run.

Good luck with the site, Ron.

Having handled the Walsh I can assure you it was printed that way, no bleed or extra ink. The pink is precisely where the white should have been. Had I not been auctioning the card I would have bought it.

I ended up buying the Walsh - Pink from the person who won it in our auction. I don't know what it is exactly but I don't think it's a stain...There are other T205s that have this pink in them and I think it's probably an error...(big scan on purpose)

I too handled that card...in fact, I think it was Scott who sold it to a former board member at a show we were all at many years ago. It is definitely a color pass but I think it could be a pass that was a mistake (white ink pass first that had a bit of red mixed in by mistake). There is a Beck on ebay right now with an odd pink color pass as well. Do not think it is a variation but a true one off mistake at the factory. I have never seen another like it.

Not sure what to call it, one off, variation, etc. but is a legit T205 which saw circulation and is not printer scraps. Regardless of the moniker it's a very neat card. It is entirely possible only one sheet was printed like this due to human error and only 1-2 may survive.

I can add one card to the master checklist:
