Thanks everyone. I am beyond excited. I have been after one of these for about a year now; I have been the underbidder on almost every Plank at auction since middle-2017 (always the bridesmaid...), and have been unsuccessful in a few private deals. But everything works out for the best, because, in my opinion, this Plank is a remarkable specimen and was worth the wait. Attached is a picture of the back. The stain up top is from a sticky hinge that used to hold the card to an album. IMO it does not detract from the back, and, really we are buying the Plank for the front/picture, right? I also like it because I know its history - it was owned by Brian Goldner for the past 28 years (JujuDrum on this forum) and Barry Halper before that. God willing, this card will not see another owner for many decades.
As an aside, I love that I can share this here -- my wife and friends either think I have a screw loose or they dont care....
