Bummer! It sure does look rebacked.

Another oddity, not really great condition but rebacked with a common back. That's a lot of effort for very little, especially if it was done years ago.

The stuff I've seen lately is really odd. There was the polar bear with an SC back over it someone posted a while back, and I've seen a number of cards with remnants of paper on the back that are different backs. At first glance they're scrapbook remnants with maybe a bit of the back of a card from the other side. But looking closer they can't be. The back that's the paper remnant is facing the back like it would if two cards were stuck together front to back, but the thinner surrounding paper shows no sign of a front.

The one that's coming is an obvious reback, a 350/460 card with a 150 back. and also a common with a common back. it should be interesting to see if it was done over another back, or if it's just a straight reback.

That's really disappointing. I was really hoping that it was the real deal. I think we all root for the good guys on the board to hit the jackpot.

Actually i think you can tell from the front scan it's rebacked. Look at the lower left corner...it looks worn yet it seems to have more cardboard beneath it, supporting it. Rebacked sign

And mine ended differently as well, although maybe a bit happier. Turns out it's neither rebacked nor a card that shouldn't exist. Just two neatly stacked cards in the same toploader. So no curious puzzle, but two more cards closer to the set. I'm not sure wether I'm disappointed or happy.
