More useful advice for this specific lot:

I would take note of which card backs go with which card fronts. You may be able to make your money back on a set registry guy with a single card if you notice a tough back that there's only 1-2 on the PSA pop report since they started doing all the different back/factory number variations in the Pop Report and on the flips.

So even Sweet Caporal backs can have value if nobody has submitted them back to PSA for cataloging. Are they really rare? Doesn't really matter because you can resell it and pay for the rest of the lot. If you're a set collector or don't care about the backs, then just bid based on quality of the fronts.


Thanks for the feedback. I will consider that next time.
