Likely discoloration from chemical/solvent.

definitely chemical burn, Chris is right

That's what I thought also. The back looks washed out. It looked interesting though so I dropped 20 on it.

Looks like bleach was used to remove residue...

Someone messed with it or it simply had gotten a spill on it. I threw it in free with a group of cards in Chicago, as it was all washed out on the reverse and even smelled funny. The recipient -- and the seller in White Plains -- knew it was just a low grade card and not a print error, and priced it as such.

It originally came to me from eBay and the seller there didn't represent it as anything but what it was -- an extremely low grade T206 that once had been spilled on... either intentionally or by accident.

It still looks cool in my opinion!

I just didn't have the heart to throw it out, as it still is a real T206 and can be a placeholder in a collection, or a neat looking oddity.

held that one at the ECN and it was definitely chemically altered. Back had all kinds of residue as I recall...

Held it as well and I thought I found something cool. Looked at it a little longer and knew that it was chemically altered. Still a cool piece.
