Wrong backs are the least valuable errors and not very rare in most issues. Wrong backs are not a printing error, it’s human error. Simply placing the wrong sheets in the run, or placing it in the wrong direction.
If you think about the printer placing the sheets in the wrong order, whether they were printing the front or back. Then every card in every position would have a twin wrong back.
As an error collector I don’t really touch wrong backs unless they are pre-1970 as they really have little value. These would to a Gretzky or Fleury collector as player collectors are the main buyers for these. So essentially, even if these are the only two sheets out of order ever, rarity does not equal value. It’s neat to have the matching pair, but I would personally never pay more than a fiver for a pair like this. A player collector with more drive may pay a couple multiples more, but I have a feeling the dealer was likely pushing the envelope if he was placing these in a place of prominence.
