Default Looking to buy - 1997 Topps Prospects Cards with reversed reverses - please read

A little-known variation in the 1997 Topps set occurs on cards 200-207. These are Prospects cards featuring 3 players and are horizontally formatted.

The variation occurs with the relative orientation of the front images to the back printing. There are versions with the backs right side up and upside down. The easiest way for me to explain is to imagine a team checklist card which, when you turn it over, has the checklist upside down.

I purchased a factory set where all of these cards were the upside down variety. I then purchased a hand-collated set where they were a mix.

I assume the right-side up version is correct as the series 2 prospects (487-494) are printed correctly.

I am looking for cards 203, 204 and 206 with the correct orientation, one side relative to the other.

I have no idea which is the more common version.

They're probably out there on ebay but anyone doing a scan who shows both sides is going to load the image right side up regardless. Even on COMC the odds or only slightly in favor of being able to tell which are the correct version and which are the errors.

Please PM me if you have any of these 3 cards and are willing to sell.

Thanks!
