Default Brown Backs....

as Sean said.....they are printers scrap.....ALL MUST BE HAND CUT!

approximately 15- 17 total examples are known including the multi strike freaks......

they are technically rarer than Cobb/ Cobb back.....


good luck finding one!!!!

like hitting the lottery......

I hunted for 25 years and never found one....

I was obsessed with them for a very long time.....the color of brown is amazing! like a "rust " brown...

took some of my favorite scraps to trade to aquire this!!!! and quite some time ..... 25 years of trying.!!!...


A PINNACLE and a milestone....I'm still missing all the scraps I traded, but this is the "pinnacle" of scrap....but it was worth it in the end...

a beautiful example.......


a must for a "complete" back run.....
