Yeah, inclined to think sun fade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im assuming they go easier on the grade if the book is only faded in certain areas and certain colors right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different colors fade at different rates; red is first, blue is the last to go. A printing error would result in a loss of red across the entire cover. This is my line of thinking also. Selective sun fade based on exposure. Yup. There is no red on the bottom half of the back cover to check but I'm also betting sun fade. You can make out the letters in the yellow circle. They're just faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a stretch but it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namisgr Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Red ink loss is tricky. I used to think the bottom one was a printing error, but looking at the changing whites of the gas cloud makes fading more likely.

Kevin76 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's a printing error because the red ink fountain was running dry and those copies should have been thrown out,but somehow still got saved and shipped. They didn't have automatic ink levers back in those days, ink fountains were filled by hand. It's not a sun fade because all the other colors are there.

It's another printing error because all the other colors are not washed out. Again, no red ink.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
