In hand it is really easy to tell if they are a print freak or faded. Even with most pictures it is very easy to tell the difference.

Here's a "blue" 1959 Topps Ernie Banks that recently showed up on eBay for a tidy sum. It's obviously a card that sat in a glass display case at a sports card store exposed to sunlight. The green area is where the price tag was that sheltered that small area from sunlight.

If not for the price sticker leaving the green(yellow ink) it probably would have sold for much more.

I disappoint people on their rare missing ink cards all the time. Bad part is most think their card is the only real one and the rest are altered.
