Buchner Blank Back?

[Archive]

FYI

The Mets players which are found blank backed are not from the same type of advertising sheet. They are generally even thicker than normal Buchners (or even the ones with the black printed ad lettering) and are found without the black lettering on them. I am sure you can find Mets players with the black lettering, but I have only ever seen Mets players showing these characteristics (thicker and no lettering). So my guess is that the card you have pictured is from that source (whatever it might be) and not from the black clock letter advertising sheet. I am guessing I have seen 15 Mets players like this and no other team, and maybe 100-150 of the ones with the black lettering but cant recall ever seeing a Mets player or St. Louis player (both of which are the teams that have non-generic photos).
