Found this T206 missing magenta in my collection.

Nice find,

To the best of my knowledge it is a missing 'red' variety (tend to be found most commonly on Boston players). I understand that red was the last color process used for T206 printing, hence the card looks complete except for the red lettering.

It's a nice example and happens to be quite high grade an error of that type. Most of my missing reds are beaters.

Nice card, congrats!

Nice Carrigan and if everybody wants to say it's missing red, then it must be true. However, in the parallel universe I belong too, the card would be classified as faded. In all probability exposed to light for a period of time. I've been exposed to light myself for the past 50+ years and believe me, fading is real and definitely exist. Kenny Rogers and his once rosy cheeks can attest to that.

Lovely day...

Iggy,

See the little strip of orange on the left border of the red Carrigan?

Looks like the same color doesn't it? Do you think that tiny strip was exposed to light?

Hello Rob and Dan,

I'm happy to see I struck a nerve, especially in light of Bruce(s) passing. Believe me, I we want to believe and would be more than happy to drink the kool-aid, but T206 fade and red is the first to go. That is a fact.

Do T206 cards exist from 1909 that were printed without the red color? Of course, that is also a fact.

Can we really tell whether a T206 was printed in 1909 without the red? I know people alot smarter than me will disagree, but I'm not convinced.

Lovely Day...

Hey you are correct Caramelcard. There is a strip of orange on the left border of the red card that matches the other card. To me, this proves it is missing the red ink.

The back does have a large amount of glue residue on it though.

The reverse of the missing ink card is a Piedmont 350 Subjects Factory 25 2nd Dist Va. This reverse is identical to the red card.

So you're saying the red on this hat and the "STON" simply disappeared from sunlight? I don't think so...this card obviously missed the red in the printing process.

OK here is the reverse. The missing ink is the one on the right.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting scans of the backs.

Just one more question and I'll leave you alone.

After looking at the back scan you provided, is there glue residue on the backs of both Carrigans?

Thanks

Jantz

First off, ask as many questions as you like. It's no bother.

And yes there is glue on the backs of both cards. I have many T206's with glue residue purchased at different times, locations or collections. I do not recall whether or not the Carrigan's were bought at the same time.
