So, is that blue backing on mine original? As I read more about these last night, it said they were made with an absorbent type of paper on back to pick up excess ink. It would seem that the glossy front side of the card would not be very absorbent, but the softer blue paper on back certainly would. Seeing your Siebert leads me to believe that is how it may have come.
Other than a narrow indentation (I don't want to call it a crease, as the surface paper is not broken) that runs along the length of the card and the normal rounding and softness of the corners through age, it seems like it's in pretty good condition. No ink blotting on the back.
I'm glad I hit the BIN button on the lot.
