Upside down Sweet Caporal Batch
 

I am considering moving this one. It is the best condition upside down reverse I have seen. I believe SGC down graded the card because the ad is cropped off to the point where the whole ad is not visible. Huge blank area is the result.

I have seen less upside down ads on t206s than most of the ads in the top ten in scarcity. Broad Leaf 460 is ranked 4 and Drum is ranked 5 but there is a huge difference in the total numbers of the known examples. We know of about 50 to 60 BL 460s and there are several hundred or more Drums. I believe upside down backs are somewhere in the middle but much closer to BL 460 than Drum.

I will consider trades or an offer north of 5k.

I will insure and ship the card

That Batch is just ridiculous:eek:

Uppies are stupid rare i beleive tufer than bl 460:D

Amazing card Jim and one of the nicest I've see. Good luck sir!

stunning
 

Wow! That's a beauty! Wish I had a few extra G's floating around...

A beauty. How would this have happened in the printing process? And shouldn't there be seemingly more like it? Can anyone shed some more light on this card?

These upside down backs are extremely rare.....on the order of broadleaf 460 rare.....they occured when printer inverted the sheet the wrong way.....:D

they are out there, but very tuf to aquire.....if you see one , get it....if u can afford it ....they don't come up too often......most i have seen are factory cut.....and most are piedys or sweet caps(probabilities finding sweet cap and piedy are greater since they are the most common backs)....:).....took me over 14 years to aquire a few, and boy i'm glad i snatched mine up when i did:)

mrvstr...
Thanks for the info. I would imagine that the scarcity of upside down backs would have been compounded by the fact that the printer would probably have destroyed/disgarded the error sheets (or singles after the factory cut) leaving even fewer (if any) to find their way into the packs. An interesting card, nonetheless.

Anytime, im addicted to these:o....your summation is prob correct.....they are extremely tuf, and jim's example is one of the cleanest i ve seen.....great card...these cards have flown under the radar for many years, but now the error/freak rarities are starting to be realized by collectors.....making it tuf for me to do some hunting:)

bl 460 tuf definitely.....:D

would like to bring this one back up for another try. Had some nice offers but looking to trade for something like AWH or an Old Mill cabinet. 206 trades would need to be something like brown Lenox, brown Old Mill, Broad Leaf 460 or blank back southern leaguers that have a brown Hindu match.

thanks for looking and please reply by email
