Actually - same thing here. I'm on Liberty Street, one block north of Wall Street and there is nothing on the ground... window sills show a little snow

I listened to the news this morning and they said there will be more snow in lower Manhattan than in Harlem. And parts of New Jersey are getting a foot of snow with blizzard conditions. It's a storm with an odd path.

I'm on the Island, but close to Jersey...it's pretty bad out here; definitely a few inches. I've been hearing plow trucks all morning.

we have about 4 or 5 inches here in Staten Island.

Thanks for the feedback!

I previously discussed this card with Craig Diamond - in fact, he owns the other blank back (a pristine DoolIN variation), and he confirms that these are these are the only two blank backs he has seen. I also own a Rhoades proof (just consigned it to REA with my T3 set) - and yes, proofs are blank backs and have printer marks with no name or team inserted on front. This Lobert T3 is clearly different (no printer marks and name and team is inserted). Walked it into SGC last week - they want to investigate further before grading it - I will keep everyone posted.

I am one hour north of NYC - no snow.

I seem to remember the T3 proofs having a sharper more vivid image - does anyone have a scan of a regular issued Lobert to compare? Although discrepancies in scanners may not help the theory...

I don't have a good scan of another Lobert, but here is a proof:
