The BIN OBO auction had been going on for a few days, so I e-mail the seller and ask him to post the back pic; then 15 minutes later he e-mails me back having updated the listing. It was a Tolstoi back.

Not a big deal, but clearly an important omission.
I bought two raw T206's around 2009-2010 with no back scan, separate auctions, both with Piedmont factory 42 backs. I probably bought 10-20 t206 raw commons during that time total. I think I remember one of the players (Reulbach I think), not sure about the other, but I have old scans somewhere.

So it could be to their advantage to add back scans
