34 Goudey variation 1/1?

[tireolddawg]

Thanks AbeCurry, I’d be very interested. And to your point Misunderestimated, I realized shortly after starting the thread that variation wasn’t the right word to use. Assuming it’s a result of a lack of ink in the printer, I guess the word to use would be error.

Sorry didn't mean to be so snarky...

Holy crap Abe!

Not trying to be a wet blanket here...... but Ive seen other cards (specifically 1958 Topps) where it looks like the yellow was missed (greens turning to blue, yellow looks white) and it was the result of prolonged sun exposure bleaching out the yellow. Im not saying your card had this but it makes me wonder.... no matter what, its sure different looking. Cool card.

Rocky, I found a thread on here with a picture of a 58 Topps Bob Anderson with a completely white background, can’t even tell there was ever any yellow ink. You could be right in that it’s fading. If that’s the case it seems amazing to me that it could fade to the point of there being no sign the yellow ink was ever there. Thanks for the info.

The more I think about it the more I’m convinced that what Rocky said is what’s going on here, and that it’s due to fading. If the yellow was absent from the printer, the color of his face, which would need some yellow ink in order to get right, would be completely off and would probably look blue/purple. I think I’m considering this a closed case. Thanks again for everyone’s thoughts.

Setting in the sun too long was also the first thing that came to mind. There are a few big sellers that are total scum that sell faded cards as rare error cards. One has had a never ending supply of the sun faded 1958 Blue Hank Aaron cards for decades.
