Yet another T206 Thread - What's going on with this card?

Just water won't do it, I tried with water and pressure and couldn't make a transfer. The singing on the back is a clue, maybe heat, water and a long time sitting and maybe some soaking to get it apart from the rest of the stack?

What is interesting is how the red line on the shoulder stops short of the border even with what looks like decent registration. There's a few like that out there.

Thanks for the insight Steve,

I was thinking the same thing with the singing. It's actually singed on both the front (right border on image) and back (left border on image). I also noticed the red shoulder line that stops short on his sleeve. I've seen a few others, but none currently on ebay (at least as of last week). I was thinking that the think broken red WST line in the middle was a belt, but I guess I was seeing things and it's just part of the Sweet Caporal printing.

I still think it's a cool and interesting card. I'll let you all know if I find anything more when I have it in hand. I really think I'm going to have to crack this one open!
