Hey guys....you're ganging up on me

I have yet to see a "faded" T206 due to sun exposure.

Furthermore, the few T206's that I have seen that appear to have been tampered with (chemically, or otherwise) are quite easy to detect.

Note that I was referring to individual T206 cards. Not posters of cards.

However, speaking about "posters"....the discoloration of the Red Cobb and the Boss Schmidt cards on the poster that Chris has displayed is the result of something
more than just "sun exposure" fading. There is no way that those two cards got to look the way they do, due to fading.

Ted, you may want to re-read this thread. Those are not posters of cards they are cards made into a folk art display that were in Huggins & Scott. So those are T206 cards with faded colors FWIW.

My image was just showing that Red is the first color to go on many printed or even painted surfaces. This is common knowledge and nothing to out there in terms of and idea.
