Default 1952 Tip Top Backs

Thanks very much Dave for the response. Almost every one of the labels I have encountered does not have that advertising on the back, despite what is shown in the reference guide you have excerpted.

If one looked at the examples from current eBay listings, you'd see some backs that have the remnants of some smaller star patterns, but nothing like written advertising. There are about 40 of them for sale on eBay. None have advertising on the backs. SGC graded one of them as high as 4.5 and it has no printing on back. Still don't understand this. I wonder if somehow the backs came off in the process of how the labels secured the loaf of bread...

Tony
