andy beckerhi guys....
silks without the backing imo are worth substantially less (obviously). i don't buy silks without the backing as i feel people will overpay (and therefore i would have to overpay) just because they do not have the patience to find a nice backed example.
they (backed silks) are out there, but they are becoming more and more scarce.
boomer, i have seen obviously rebacked silks in passing....but they are very very obvious. additionally the actress silks used a "chip-board" backing vs. baseball silks that used a plain cardboard. not to say that there are not non-baseball silks whose backs would match up with baseball....but the sizing, fraying, and general apperance make them pretty obvious imo.
i will post a couple scans tonight in hopes of having steve wet his keyboard
