E99 Bishop background colors - and are Pink and Black legit colors?

[Webster]

The Red color on E99s and E100s will run if soaked. I think that the "pink" is just faded red. Here are some of the "missing" color backgrounds.

Thanks Webster, and nice E99's...that is quite a few for the list that I can update.

Looking for Dillion, Hogan, and McReedie with lots to trade including another Purple Wolverton. Send a PM if anyone can help.

Thanks for the thoughts on the Pink...I certainly can imagine fading is a possibility. Any ideas about the possible Black background Mohler? Also, has anyone even seen a black background E99?

I’ve never seen that Mohler. Looks like there is some pink behind that black/brown. Could be jus toning/reaction on the unstable red coloring; could also be a printing error/ink mix up (though we would have likely seen another player with similar coloring.

My hues would be chemical reaction of some sort.

I think it’s most likely that all players were printed in all colors at some point in time.

That is my opinion as well for the Blue, Green, Yellow, Purple and Red backgrounds. For me it is just a question whether each color example of each player is still around 110+ years later. Thanks to you we have reached 80% (120 of 150) verification of these background colors.

To me the areas on the left and right borders still seem to possess the original finish, which is definitely dark and may have been what has been identified as a black background previously.

I agree on the missing color pass possibility.
Not sure on the other one. Maybe a color that didn't work out? I have seen at least one, I used to own, completely different color strip card than any others from the set I had seen. Who knows?

Another e card with, I feel, probably a missing red color pass.
