That's the one I remember. Wow, 7.5 years ago. Didn't seem that long ago. I found the two original posts to that particular Piedmont Plank. Interesting trip back in time but after reading them again, sadly not much has changed in the hobby.

There is no predicting which T206 subjects will be found with no Tobacco advertisement printed on their back. Blank-Back (B-B) T206's are simply a random phenomena.

Needless to say, B-B T206 cards are highly sought after, and big $$$$ are usually paid to acquire these cards.

So, let us see how many Blank-Back (B-B) T206's we can display here. And, perhaps some one will post a B-B HOFer. I have yet to see such a T206. Well, I will start this
show with my B-B......

Thanks to Dan McKee for giving me a nice deal on this card.

Spoke with PSA recently & asked them about slabbing blank backs, and heard back "We have never processed proofs and the biggest reason is the there are two known varieties that can occur for T206. There are blank back & proofs that are known to hobbyist. There is no definitive way to discern between both of those situations accurately, thus we have never processed both types of items."

Thought that was strange.

Here's my two:

That's surprising that PSA would say that. My understanding is if the front looks identical to a normal card, then it's a blank back. If it includes crop marks and/or missing the name, then it's a proof. Seems simple to me.
