Show your card with color missing

Post by onlychild on Fri May 23, 2008 2:48 pm

Here is a T206 Goode card with the yellow ink missing. Difficult to tell since there seems to be yellowish highlights. My thought is that the light blue mixed with the pink..not sure tough to tell. It's compared to full color card scan I borrowed.

Show your card with color missing

Neat thread topic and I'll be happy to contribute to it as I have a few of these in my collection. Here's a scan of a group of them. A bit about each is below -

e90-3 Payne - typically a bright green. You occasionally see e90-3s that missed a color pass during the card's original print run. These "misprints" typically show up in a bright bluish color though. Not sure how this one turned up Lavender

e94 Doolan - Interesting card here. You can see that other colors were applied to the card so it is not a proof. But it missed whatever color the background was intended to be so it ended up without any color at all. While several "orange" e94s exist, this is the only "greyback" that has surfaced publically and is "known" within the hobby.

t210 orange borders - I threw a few of these from my collection in the scan. These are neat when you see them in person, they have neon orange borders instead of the typical fire-engine red.

e98 McGraw - you don't see many e98 color screw-ups but here is a subtle one. The players depicted in most e98s have a pinkish flesh color over the face. The McGraw on the left missed that color pass and his face came out blueish. You can easily see the difference when compared to the e98 McGraw on the right.

Not pre-war but very rare...1959 Banks yellowless and even more rare, a 1971 yellowless Garvey:
