After I saw that item description I checked every T222 I had to see if I also had a $10,000 upside down ad card. I was a bit disappointed because I didn't find one. However I checked all of my T200 cards and they are either all upside down or all right side up. What are the odds that I have a bunch of T200 cards with the ad upside down? I could be sitting on a fortune right now.

In all honesty I never really paid attention to the position of the ads on these cards. It could be that there are a few of these out there but does anyone think that it would be worth $10,000? Does anyone have a T206 card with an upside down ad back?

Yes both my Plank and Wagner t206 have upside down UZIT backs.

I've owned ~50 T222's and this is the first one I've seen with its ad back upside-down.

It's a real shame because there are a lot of folks, including me, who would be interested in that card at a reasonable price. Not because of the back, but because we want the card.

Julie, when are you selling yours?

a t206 cobb with a ty cobb back that's sideways - i'm not sure if it's real but i took it to a couple of card shops and they said it was real and a rare cobb back sideways error - i just got it from an old woman's attic. maybe i should have asked her before i just took it, but what the heck. she also had a t206 wagner with an upside down back and a 52 mantle with a diagonal back, but i left those.

on a more serious note, i haven't seen t222 cards before - man are those some beautiful looking cards!

He also says it has a 'reserved' back in the words scrolling across the screen.Ive seen a t206 upside down before,but this one had parts of 4 backs,not just 1 like this silly card hes trying to sell.You could probably buy it for half the starting price of this one too







Hey those scans look like they came from my crappy scanner hmmmm

the ramly card that brian has up for auction is explainable, the early production ramly's were actually 2 part paper cards adhered together. most will show signs of misalignment on the edges, meaning they were individual and not from a sheet. later on they were produced on the more common lightweight cardstock that they are predominately found on. i did talk to an old time collector who thought they were all 2 parts, he had not seen others.

AND YES i have seen an upside down ramly back, it was a 2 part paper card and not a printed stock version. it is the only 1 i have seen. maybe it's a 10K card too!
