You're right Scott. I offered $1000 for it as I have no blank bck to trade, even though the owner said "No negotiation. Take it or leave it." I'm hoping he'll take that more than fair offer.
I guess I have your dad to thank for this. The handwritten letter he wrote me about collecting backs is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in this hobby.
He'd have the patience to wait and so will I. I'm still not even sure if I consider a blank back a back type at all!
