Personally, i thought the card brought a ton of money.... I would not beat yourself up too much

It was a great looking card, and the coloring on it was perfect. Much better than the way it was supposed to look. All of Hughie's portraits make him look like a clown.

If the coloring was perfect, you damn sure couldn't tell by the scan!

Kevin, you are missing my point. In my opinion, most Jennings portraits make him look ridiculous. He always has these big rosy cheeks and he tends to look like a clown. Put that over a bright Yellow/Orange background, and it adds to the effect. This card, which to me looked like it missed the Yellow/Orange coloring (although I really don't know much about that sort of thing) looked so much better with the darker background. I would have happily paid more than the hammer for it.

I thinks it brought a "ton" of money due to the background color. The eye appeal is a plus ,but the unique colors brought out the best in the bidders.

Not only is the Jennings missing yellow but it's also missing red (should be on his lips and cheeks) and appears to also be missing the color blue (should be on his eyes). The colors on the card are certainly unique. It would surprise me if the card actually came out of the factory this way, (without being scrap), but my guess is as good as yours.

Lovely Day...

Josh- i am not missing your point.... Holy cow, a psa 2 for $250 plus??? I have a t206 sgc 20 george brown(washington) nicer than this card that i will gladly sell you for $250. Alot rarer card... Also, the seller told me the card had original colors, he blamed it on a bad scan....

There's nothing there to get too excited or upset about. There are no factory print anomalies present. If anything, the final selling price was above retail.

Thanks Kevin. Very kind. I'll pass.

I realize that T206's will vary in size, and it's difficult to tell for certain by a scan only, but it's possible that PSA 2 card is trimmed (judging by the shortness in the holder and the sharp corners on the card).

Maybe my copy isn't too bad, but I never thought Hughie resembled a clown on this card. A little bit, maybe....

That was my first thought as well.
