John,
I've had SGC grade T207 brown ink backs as such for me. Perhaps they don't anymore.
Mike,
Good thread. With the large group of blank backs that surfaced 10 years ago I don't remember any being non recruit class.
Collectors used to call Anon backs coupons, but only because they had been found with large groups of coupon t213s which doesn't really mean anything.
Like the E98 issue, it's hard to imagine why the backs are anonymous. Although E98s (as we know from the recent large find) were not necessarily inserted into anything. I would imagine anonymous backed t207s were inserted into a Louisiana based cigarette pack.
So it would make sense that they could be coupons.
And if you really think about it, if the folks buying the cigs know that there are cards inside, they wouldn't care after the fact if there was advertising on the backs of the cards. More interested in the fronts.
Rob
