Default Re-Backed T206 Chance......

Your statement........

"While the front/back combinations may seem the most obvious problem with this card -- and with all due respect to the
experts who know these combinations by memory -- if you actually need to reach for the back/front permissible combination
guide when you're staring at this one on the computer, then you ought not be purchasing baseball cards on your computer."

Is the most DANGEROUS thinking regarding T206's that has been said in along time. With the ever-increasing scamming of
T206's that are getting Graded in recent years....this one takes the cake.

Look at the PSA5 graded Cobb (bat on) with a Sweet cap 460 back in the on-going Thread today. How about the infamous
Mathewson (portrait) with a Red HINDU back that SGC graded a few years ago. Just to cite two of many such RE-BACKED
T206's.

Look, if you choose to remain above the significance of front/back knowledge of these T206's, that's your prerogative. But,
don't go telling the rest of us that it's foolish.

And, I personally don't have a...."need to reach for the back/front permissible combination guide". After, 26 years
of collecting T206's, I know from what series every card belongs to.
