look like Tattoo transfers were stuck the the backs IMO...

especially the Kroh card, because the "1843" is not backwards. Tattoos are usually printed backwards so they are correct when applied. But if this was a nonsport blimp card that was stuck to the back of the T206 then removed and leaving some ink behind... the image would be reversed. Plus I think the Nonsport guys would ID a blimp card easily, but a tattoo not so easy.

IMO they are not scrapsheet overprints either for the fact that there are more than one color and colors are all correctly aligned, and the colors and spotty texture remind me of the tattoos Ive seen from that Era. And a tattoo would have that flaky look after all these years from sloughing off a little at a time.
