Just received this beauty today from fellow Net54 and OBCer Brian Lindholme. Only 23 to go (all high numbers, of course!)

Please don't tell anyone as I usually don't collect post-1949 cards.....but couldn't resist these 2 Bowmans......they have blank backs as the backs are printed on the fronts, or vice versa..

Leon---which is more valuable, fronts over backs or backs over fronts ?

Hell-if-I-know . I certainly didn't buy these based on valuations. They were only about $40 a piece anyway. I just like them......but to your question. Not sure we can tell anyway? IF a tree falls and no one hears it.....

If you'd care to move the Shantz, I'd gladly take it off your hands...

Nice pickups. I noticed those last week too. The guy had some interesting stuff. I believe he also had a Ted Williams, plus a Nellie Fox rookie with the overprints..

I had looked for more but didn't seen any. It was Probstein123 that had them. And these 2 reside in my collection so are not for sale. Plus I try not to post new pickups when things are for sale. That's not my gig....thanks for the kind words otherwise though. happy collecting.

I was thinking of a different seller. justcollectcards. He had 3 different Fox rookie overprints, and 3 Ted Williams and a shitload more...And they all went fairly cheap. Now that I'm looking, that was a month ago. Still, nice pickups Leon.

Interesting overprints. Can't recall seeing '51's before. Looks like the first color of the fronts was put over the backs, so could have been the printed back sheet was inadvertently reversed when it was put in the press. If that was the case, there should be more of them around, i.e., 34 or 70 additional overprints on the effed up sheet, unless most were trashed back then.
