Very cool. Do you think that these are tougher than the other factory SC 150 & 350 series backs?

I have 44 ungraded cards and only one is this overprint. Mike Powers.

I don't think they're as tough as Hindu, it's not really hard to find an example.

But oddly, when I joined and got interested in the factory as well as the brand I needed one "easy" back. Yep, the 649 OP. A gap that only took a few minutes to fill.

So maybe tougher than other 150's, but not all that hard.

For what it's worth, my collection is a bit odd because SC 350/460 f25 is supposed to be tougher than the others, but I had more of them than any other 350/460.

It isn't really that tough of a back to find unless you are looking for a particular subject with the back.

The numbers are a little skewed because out of the 524 fronts only 34 come with the back. So if out of the 478 cards you have records on included 1 of each of the possible fronts that come with this back then that means only 7% of the cards in your records could have possibly had the back in the first place. Then if you weren't concerned with the back type you had aprox 1/11 (9%) chance of getting this particular back. That comes to you having a 6.3% chance of getting this back in the 478 cards, which you hit those odds by getting 3 of them.


I don't think it is rarer to find one if you want them but randomly getting them in your collection is a little harder depending on what you are looking for.
