Looks to me like those red marks are caused by the cards being placed directly under a SC overprint with that big red bar, and then left together for a long time.

Everyone wants every stray mark to be 'wet sheet transfer', and I've yet to discern the magic of it. I don't think either of the cards are wet sheet transfers. An SC card with an overprint bar got damp while pressed down on those cards, long after they left the printer's.

Frank, I think you nailed it. I recently acquired two T206's with what looked like scrapbook residue glued to the front. After soaking, the crud came off, but left the remnants of a Sweet Cap back, clearly from another card being stuck to it. The Sweet Cap 'ghost' is now there forever.

Scott, Dan, how long does it take for the water to seep through the slab and get to the card, when you soak?

That would be an interesting test.
