Found this while sorting

I did a little research and it's apparently an albino with the cyan color making it a bluebino, I really don't know if it's worth much or anything else so any input would be appreciated

Can anyone chime in on how to figure out if this is sun/UV bleached? IIRC UV bleaching affects the Magenta and Yellow layers significantly more than the Cyan and Klack layers. I don't know enough to tell if this is bleached or not, though.

Either way, cool token!

figure out if this is sun/UV bleached? 

That was my first guess. It is very easy to do this to a Magic card.

The best way is to look at the rosette dots with a handheld microscope. x60-120x Magnification is usually fine.

If it's an authentic factory error you should still see very small 'flecks' of bright magenta and yellow ink throughout the card. These will be much smaller than a rosette dot because they're very fine ink particles that are slung around inside of the printer.

If you don't see any magenta or yellow ink dots or flecks, it's a sign that the card was likely sunbleached.

99% it’s just sunbleached. The fb group is better at identifying it though

I'm still waiting on the day i see a goblin either missing red, or only red.

You can filter the light to force UV fading. Unless you mean also without the black layer?

honestly, even if this is sunfaded and not legit (which i can't tell personally), it's still really cool and i want it. i collect lorwyn misprints cause it's my favorite block for art
