Hunt did not show the backs in the catalog but that did not mean you could not request scans or see the cards for themselves. I saw the backs of the T205s and don't feel they were described consistently with their condition. Residue is not the word that was used. Toning is the word that was used. The entire backs of the cards looked like they were darkly stained with coffee and could in fact be tobacco but in all likelihood is glue residue. Some of the ungraded examples had significant paper loss and even with the first layers of paper missing the staining was present.

These were not purchased by a collector but someone who is going to see if the stains can be removed and the cards get placed into SGC or PSA NM-MT holders.
