Default T206 blank backs

Posted By: Dave

With all the talk lately about the differant backs, just how rare are the blank backs? I see them now and then on ebay, but I've always thought these were cards that had a much higher chance of being fakes...no premiums for such either?

Dave they definitely carry a premium. 6-10x would be a safe assumption I believe.

I wish those listings had photos, but they don't. One sold in B/S/T last week for $300 I think... a G condition common.

So a blank back....ungraded....bigger risk that it could be fake or would most that doctor up a card not bother doing so with blank backs? Just seems they would be alot easier to forge...only having to worry about getting the front of a card right.

Blank backs on t206 are pretty darn rare. There are both blanked back cards that appear to be hand cut and also cards that appear to be factory cut.

The SL blank back that Trae posted a link to is more uncommon than a non SL t206.

I don't think they have a higher chance of being fake. You just have to look for the same signs of a reprint.

That being said, I've never seen a t206 reprint with a blank back.

How's it going Trae?

This one actually has a diamond cut. Most likely part of a test run or some kind of printer's scrap. If I was a printer, I probably would've taken a few home.

I would guess that there were printer's scrap sheets that might've been cut later (out of the factory) and scrap that went a step further and were factory cut like this one.

May be a stupid question..but a card advertised as a blank back, with obvious removal spots from an album....what would the chances be of totally taking off a thin enough layer of the back of a card and it being passed as a blank back?

It can be done Dave. I would stay away from a card like that.

That's how people reback t206 as well.

Yes....thats the one I'm talking about....although it may be worth having...I don't think you'll have to worry about me on that card.

Funny... they must have had a problem with the yellow portrait Chance cards.

Here is ANOTHER blank backed one!

Louis,

You are the T206 back master!


Hal,

Isn't the yellow chance one of Scot Reader's "superprints?"

They're as common as 1990 Bowman.

Robert,
Not quite as common as 1990 Bowman. I would say more 1987 Topps.
