N284 Buchner Gold Coin Checklist Add?

[packs]

Oh wait, the checklist I found has a notation on this card and this thread! Haha, never mind. Agree it would be weird to reprint an unknown card. Maybe it's just the photo.

I think it is legit. Nice find, Jeff.

I think there are 5 different cards of Steve Toole in the Old Judge set featuring him with Brooklyn, KC, and Rochester.
Therefore since the N284 cards were also printed circa 1887, it's not unusual that Steve Toole was printed in this set.

For many years, the existence of an N284 Bill McClellan card was a mystery. In recent years, this card was confirmed.

Brooklyn already has a card for "Pitcher" in the set "Porter". It is possible to have more than one card per position in this set . Toole would make that 2 pitchers from Brooklyn. I believe Indy has 2 pitchers , Boyle and Healy.

Can we see a scan of the back? Maybe a better scan of the front?

I was wrong. Backside is not printed. Advertising cut-out?

I would be wary of a blank backed Buchner. Guess that still wouldn't explain why it exists, but perhaps it was a card that appeared on a poster but wasn't actually issued for one reason or another.

Lots of blank backed Gold Coins out there

Feeling pretty vindicated right about now. Of course the question remains what is it?

Bummer - given the various N284 advertising posters that were printed, that wouldn't be surprising. Many of the poster cards have the traditional backs with ads but there have been references to blank-backed ones, too. Guessing it's one of those for a card that was not issued.
