Sunburned Groom... A question for the t206 experts here

[bn2cardz]

I went and bought a few more Grooms for comparison. I have also looked for other cards that appeared to have extra ink. Yet everytime I bought another card that seemed more vibrant or darker it turned out to just be a scan/monitor thing.

So does anyone else have cards with extra ink that changes the tone of the card this drastically? I assume there should have been at least a sheet of cards with this same anomaly. With as much attention as cards with missing ink gets I am surprised that extra ink cards get overlooked. At least with the "extra" pass cards (I assume there are more) I know this couldn't have been caused by glue (as is common with missing color cards).

Maybe it is something that seems more obvious in person than it does on each person's monitor.


Anyways here is a new scan with 4 more Grooms, with the middle card being the extra pass of magenta card. These were scanned at the same time with the only thing tweaked was adding the reverse of the cards to the scan.

I've seen several 'extra pink face' Grooms since you started this thread...and before.

Great. I would love to see them. I am not being sarcastic or cynical. I really would. I have tried searching for them and went ahead and bought a few Grooms (as pictured above) and can't seem to find them.

I am genuinely curious about this.

Edited to add: I don't have a large pool of photos and cards personally owned to go through. I dabble around from set to set, more like a type collector. So I don't have a lot to compare to. I just know that since picking up the card and saw how extremely different it looked from any other one I have seen I thought I would have been able to see more by now. I just haven't though.
