I am a printer and like these cards I run the CMYK color 90% of the time. When running long runs you typically have to refill the ink wells every two hours or so and the printer of those cards was just a bad one who was probably in the rest room or having a cigar and forgot to fill up the M well, it might have cost him his job.

Some of the variations look better than the standard cards.

A few red ink variations I like:

Great info everyone, thanks. I definitely learned a ton about printing variations and "errors." The one in question didn't sell. I, being relatively new to the T206 game, didn't have enough info before bidding on the print "error" in question. I was worried it wasn't a true print error and was doctored in some fashion. And besides, it sounds like the $199 price might have been a touch high. I'm considering emailing the seller to see if they'd be open to an off the books offer or to see if they plan to relist it.
