Authentic T206 with a blue Sovereign back...take a look

[frankbmd]

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)

Kind of reminds me of my T59 Big Run card with a half blue and half green back. You can see where something was spilled on the card and changed the color of the ink.

Thanks for posting that T59 card Bill. It definitely highlights, within one card, the effect of a liquid agent, whether nefarious or not, can have on the ink printed on a card. My Campbell T206 is definitely blue (the blue shows better in person than on my scan), but the card back does have fairly consistent 'toning', and the dang thing has odd little surface bumps on front that are visible on the scan, as well as a washed-out appearance, as was mentioned previously.

Do you all think the red ink on the front of my Campbell would have completely disappeared as well after being exposed to a liquid agent, alias solvent? Remember, even water is a solvent.

Do you think a reputable Grading company, perhaps SGC, would be able to determine whether the ink color had been altered? Or is that asking too much in this crazy world we exist within?

No grading company will touch that card. They have been burned by too many altered cards that supposedly had missing ink. I have a 100% authentic missing ink card and SGC would not label it as missing ink.

Came across a few other 'no red' T206 Campbell cards on the internet, for the sake of comparison.
