Someone please bleach the back of a T Tobacco card (even nonsport) and show me a before and after pic...
There are E145 (Cracker Jack) cards that have been bleached to remove stains and make borders whiter, but they are easy to spot. If it was so easily done (bleaching 100% of the ink), then why in heck arent there more "doctored" blank backed T206's floating around ?? A blank back T206 WILL sell for far more $$ than most of the other back. That would be a far easier way of making $$ for a scammer, if it was possible to remove all of the printing with no evidence. Trying to find 100 year old ink (still good), and re-designing the exact match of the font, color, spacing, and design etc of a Drum, Uzit, Broadleaf 460 back, is not going to happen. Or we would have seen obvious evidence by now as many in the "doctoring" game dont know the possible front/back combos I know they can bleach Topps cards, why not T206's where the premium for a Blank Back is 10X+...... That would be easier $$ than counterfeit bills, if it were true. ie. buy a $30 T206 card, bleach it, flip it for $300+ Makes no sense to me, personally. or it would have been done by now by every scam artist out there.

"The first conversation I had with a big-time T206 dealer over 20 years ago, he told me not to focus much on backs as there were a ton of fakes out there created by rebacking and/or reprinting of backs."
SOMEHOW I'D BET THIS DEALER HAS/HAD QUITE A BACKS COLLECTION HIMSELF!!!!! SUCKA!

Is that thread you linked to talking about meshing 2 different papers together (a front and back)
Or vanashing 1 side of the card and reprinting what you want on the newly blank side? How can you detect the fraud if its the latter? The thread states its nearly impossible to detect?? that doesnt sound comforting.

Nice guess, but no. This guy was a true businessman and a dealer I could respect - no card stayed with him longer than a few days before he sold it and moved on. I stood in front of his table one day when he took in a great collection of T206s. Within 10 minutes he offered me the 4 Cobbs for $100 each (about Ex or better). I foolishly said no, and they were sold to the guy standing next to me. Honestly, at that time I think very few people would have been at all impressed by a "backs collection"... Cheers, Blair
