Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Aside from being hand cut/trimmed, it looks fake to me. I don't see the line between the white border and the orange. It may be a bad scan, but I would be wary. Reminds me of the $300,000 Honus.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>That's Conchy Jim from the Keys!.. He's a good guy. Talked with him a year or two ago. Very friendly and had some nice vintage in the past. His photos always $uck. Good merchandise, not to worry you've got a genuine Chance.<br /><br />:grammar

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p><br /> Hi Robert,<br /> You out snipped me for the card, so yes, it's real. The scan is horrible, and the top border may be trimmed, but it's still a deal at that price. Be well Brian

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>My first impression was reprint but I have never seen or heard of a Pied 460 fact 42 back.<br /><br />Did I mention it's my birthday. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>happy birthday lee.<br /><br />i agree, i've never seen a reprint with a piedmont factory 42 back. that being said, i really can't see the factory number on the scan. if it is 42, it is real.

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>I have had a bunch of these F42 cards and that Chance is real. Good luck with it. It is an undervalued rare back. No respect becasue it is piedmont.

Posted By: <b>Robert {Bigb13}</b><p>Thanks Guys, for your imput, I also have a bunch of these backs and it did look real in the scan even though it was a bad scan. PS Happy Birthday Lee, mine is next month can't wait to see what my wife will get on ebay or a card shop for me. Rob&nbsp;

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>A Piedmont 460/42 back is a legit back and very tough to find. Not Drum tough, but tougher than most. I'd guesstimate around a Carolina Brights level.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>This card is legit.....and here are two reasons to "back" (a pun) this up.....<br /><br />The Yellow Chance is a candidate for a P460/42 back (not all 460's qualify).<br /><br />And, all the P460/42 backs I have seen appear printed with a lighter shade of blue<br />(such as this one). I don't know why this is, and perhaps someone can explain this.<br />A "faker" would have not have known this and printed the back with a darker blue<br /> color.

Posted By: <b>Joey</b><p>I also have the same Chance with the Fact 42 back. I can post a scan for comparison if you'd like but I agree that the card is legitimate.

Posted By: <b>Brian Weisner</b><p> Hi Ted,<br /> While I agree that most Piedmont 42's do appear to have been printed with lighter ink, but not all of them. I have 2 copies which are the same if not darker than the normal color.

Posted By: <b>Joey Settle</b><p>Here are the scans of my Chance Fact. 42 card. Got the card last year in a large grouping of mostly T209-2's and T210's. There were about 40 T206's in the lot and about 15 had the factory 42 back including 2 Chance yellow portraits and a Frank Baker. <br /><br />Front:<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/benkenobi13/Vintage%20Tobacco%20Cards/T206Chance.jpg"><br /><br />Back:<br /><br /><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v146/benkenobi13/Vintage%20Tobacco%20Cards/T206_Chance_Fact42.jpg">
