Nice discovery. It's always fun to learn of new variations of established sets.

Marc,

This is great! Did you just happen to have two of them when you initially noticed this?

Thanks for the kind words, guys! Looking for stuff like this is one of my favorite parts of collecting.

Rob, I did have two of these when I first noticed it a couple of years ago. Since the emblem is right on the edge, at first I thought the "no emblem" version may just have been cut off-center or a missing/light color pass. It took me a few months to find more examples of that version and it became clear that the emblem was actually missing. At that point, I started tracking them closely to see which versions appeared with which backs. In a little less than three years, I have tracked 22 total "with emblem" and have seen 14 so far "without emblem." Neither is a scarce card...there are multiple copies of each on eBay right now...but NO T207s are what I would call extremely common, so I'd recommend that the set collectors check their versions and maybe pick up one of the others now. I have one of each version from each Factory back in my set, so I'm satisfied with that!
