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.

agree with you, but they were (for now) firm on their stance.

Bizarre response from PSA. Proofs are blank backed and always have crop marks (for the precious alignment of the artwork, hence Proofs typically have very crisp and bold images, as every color pass is aligned perfectly). Some have the player name/team (type 2), and some do not (type 1, often having a slight artwork change from the original).

Hey Sean,
Six months ago, you asked if there is another Mullaney with a "$trange" back. Well, yes there is....however, this one is blank

Here's my Schulte Blank-Back card....although SGC refused to label it as such. When it's out of the plastic, it's obvious that this card is NOT "skinned" (but has a spot
of paper loss in the upper left corner).

here's my last remaining Blank. It's actually not blank, but it doesn't have an ad on the back. And I still can't straighten them out.

Neat stuff, thanks for sharing your Blank-Back T206's with us.....Ryan, Steve, Jeff, Mike & Sean.

Perhaps, we will see some more of these B-B T206 cards.

They appear randomly. There is no way of predicting which ones will come out of the woodwork.
