Saco River Auction (Lot #126)

[sb1]

Someone just hit the lottery, and some poor consignor just lost out on a windfall.

The card certainly looks authentic, but aren't there Blue back Sovereign reprints floating around?

I think the scan just looks weird because the scanner settings were screwed up. All the scans look strange to me. Some too bright, some too dark, etc.

Yes, I recall that they were from a set of reprint T206s from about 15 years ago. They still show up regularly on eBay.

I believe there were a couple of board members at the live auction - perhaps one of them saw the item in person?

It’s a green SOV. Unless it’s uncatalogued I don’t think anything special was missed.

Yes, I was there too, I gave it a quick check and didn't bid on the lot---I don't think it was a blue back.

So the scan of the Sovereign is pure blue, scanned next to Sweet Caporal that displays it's normal red shade, how is that explained?
