It looks green to me. The back has heavy toning, and the green has toned along with the blank areas of the back. I don't think this has anything to do with the lack of red on the front.

The card has been altered chemically, possibly by solvent or an adhesive. It is unsurprising to see other color variations is the "missing reds" which are always related to chemical action or fading. Neat curiosity though.

The card looks "off" to me also. If a card is truly just missing a color the rest of the card would look normal. This one looks heavily faded out to me. I have very little experience with T206s but on newer cards like in the 50s it is very easy to turn green blue.

I'd have to do a lot of looking up, but some colors are prone to changing colors when exposed to certain chemicals. Some yellows "oxidize" to brownish. I can see a green changing to be more bluish. since a lot of colors were hand mixed, I can also see a batch being made with more blue than usual. |

I've never questioned the green on the back of Sovereign T206's but T59 Flags have so many shades of blue and green backs.

If the sky is green, that card is blue.
You might want to remove your rose-colored glasses.

ok dr. frank-
with all the bs stuff that is currently being discussed (tho not in this thread), "If the sky is green, that card is blue" is THE quote of the moment! THAT alone is worthy of a free breakfast! (please, keep me in mind) ![]()
