Pirates -- these have a pirate back, they are super scarce and were issued in the south pacific to British soldiers.

All three types of T215s are very rare. Like a Drum or Uzit back, this scarcity substantially increases the value of these backs.

Personally, I feel the T215-1 (type 1) should be considered a T206 (I miss you Ted and enter Leon with opposition), given when they were issued and the front lettering, so I feel those backs should be more valuable than the type 2. Nevertheless, T215s are super rare and very valuable.
Pretty sure the name and team lettering on the front of a T206 and Type 1 T215 is brown not black.
