Possible new discovery - t210 Series 5 PINK border

Gotta say Ted, I definitely prefer your argument to the others

I'm not buying that....

The look and feel of T206s is quite different from T210s. I still think this is something that happened to the card after printing and distribution.

Ditto.Brian the wax after being on the card for years would be easily removed,I don't buy the thory that it is a printing error it is something that was done after the cards exited the packs.Just my two cents.

I understand, and like I was saying, yours is a good theory and may be the best one. As the guy who owns the pink card at the start of this thread, I was rooting for it to be a printing error is all I was saying.

nice display Ted-didn't go through the complete process during printing and that fits with what Scott is saying-faulty gloss applied or not applied.

just a misfit but not a new discovery...

Hey B,

I was looking through my 210s tonight and came across another 210 with some border issues-just to a lesser degree. pink?

first card you can barely read the caption -second is for comparison and the third has the same issues as the first but to a lesser degree.

I can't get enough of these 210s-image size, border colors and the gloss-very fun to compare all these cards-at the present time I am going through about 100 of these and will let you know if I find anything else interesting. Starting to research the players also...

note-you can see parts of the red border showing through on the third card

On the red bordered cards the image is fine...

On the orange bordered cards the image is fine...

On those rare yellow border cards the image is fine...

On the so-called pink border cards the image is obviously obscured a bit. On these cards it isn't that something happened in the printing of the border, something has happened to the entire card front. I still don't buy into this pink border idea, I think something has happened to the surface of the card...

Jim brought up something earlier that's actually a good point. The tips of my pink bordered card fade into red a little bit. I should point out though that a couple of my orange borders do this too. The Yellow-bordered Slaven was the same way as well. But a lot of these variations have tips that are more like the dark red that you're used to seeing on t210s.
