1933 R337 eclipse imports

Do any of you know if any of these cards have blank backs or are the blank backs something else or reprints?

[Leon]

We have folks on our board who have more experience with them than I do but I usually think most pre-war cards could have had a back skipped in production, as an error or whatever. And then too there are millions of reprints that have blank backs too. And to that end I usually think there is a fake/reprint of every card on the interweb. (I kind of hate that word.)

This is a great set. I have never seen blank backs of these cards. It’s not to say they don’t exist but I would proceed with caution. The fronts and thickness should tell you if they’re fakes. Post a pic.

I have never seen one with a blank back. I never completed this set I think closest I came was 15 cards of the 24 But I did chase them for many years and as I said never saw a blank back. They are scarce but not very attractive. Although an R300 issue not sure if candy or gum was issued with the cards they always appeared to me more of a strip card. Istill have this type in my collection.

Nice. I don't recall any blank back ones, off hand, but have seen a strip or two of them.
