I'm a big fan of blank backs. I'm working on a run of one from each set 1948-1979. I agree that they don't look like the back has "peeled" like many "blank backs" I've run into. The fronts look like they might have been exposed to something.( light, moisture, smoke)
I am far from an expert. Do you think they might have been hand cut from some sort of trade or advertising piece? Edited to add: Am I remembering this wrong or are there a lot of hand cut 49 PCL Bowmans?

SGC shipment arrived today, and the cards are "re-backed". I guess this means the card fronts are real, "skinned" off original 1949 Bowmans, and then glued onto some plain cardboard. Maybe the backs were damaged and the previous owner wanted to improve how they looked. Maybe the previous owner wanted to try to pass them off as "blank-backed" cards. Oh well it was a learning experience and I am out $14 grading fees after I get my refund.
