Could somebody please explain the "missing black plate" cards? I can't find anything that explains the difference from the regular version and I can't spot the difference even when comparing a picture of one to the cards I have

Means the card was printed without the black plate aka no black ink. From what I can tell on ebay, the back is pretty faded compared to regular ones.

I got one missing black plate parallel. The faded back is the easiest way to tell. I didn't see much difference on the front, but I didn't have the same # base card to compare.
