Color "error" variations in t206 cards

Robert quite a few have struck me as sun/UV, glue, chemicals or something else since you ask.

Finding true missing reds that are bold minus the red isn't an easy thing. I think that's why I own so few them. But that's just my experience with T206s and the set.....

Clayton, I used to own a Donie Bush with a bright orange background. I didn't think it was faded and no evidence of soaking or glue. It seems to me it was missing a red color pass. The card was a PSA 4, I believe.

I currently have an Abstein PSA 5 with the similar bright orange background.

Thanks Ron!

I appreciate the input. I've seen quite a few of the Abstien cards with this orange background. It's hard to imagine that many Abstein cards losing all of the red?

And I posted the Willis portrait because I think some of these slight color changes may have been a deliberate thing. Just my opinion of course, not to be taken as fact.

Sincerely, Clayton

Ron- I also have a Bush with a vivid orange background, it's a 6.5 Old Mill...

Having frequented quite a few card shops in the 1990's/early 2000's you would be amazed at the color transformation of many of the cards that they had in counter displays and cases, they had changed colors quite a bit due to both Sun uv rays and fluorescent lighting. Now most of these were 1950's and 60's cards as that was what was mostly sought after but I am sure that in some areas quite a few early cards were put out as well. I also have a friend who has many of his cards out in the open on display in his home for quite some time and several have lightened up. Further the amount of glued (not paste) in early cards that were removed via solvents has created many of the psychedelic multi color cards as mentioned by others. Food for thought.
