Yes you can have a "complete" backs run without these one of kind card but you need this one !!

I agree with ChicagoT206, this is a printing error in my opinion, like thousands of other printing anomalies; not a separate back. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but sometimes it seems to me the auction companies over-hype cards like this.

this card is obviously for the most advanced t206 backs collector...someone who already has bl 460, brown lenox, brown old mill...and maybe a cobb/cobb as well. this collector needs this back variation for his/hers collection to be complete. For most of us...1 of each brand back + red hindu is challenging enough!

in my opinion this card deserves to be hyped...if you truly revere backs...this is a grail.

I agree, I would rather have something like this than a Wagner !

For a normal, rational human being they do not need this card to have a complete back set. I'd say that anyone with either 37 or 38 different cards would have a complete back set (the cobb/cobb is debatable) by virtually anybody's standards.

However, for someone who is relatively insane (like me) this is a borderline must have

This should stay well under $1,000.
There just aren't that many people who focus on collecting T206 backs.

15k-18k....I haven't researched enough to personally count it or not...but would always lean towards counting it if it's legit....*(which I think it is from what I have read, meaning not just a print error, but I am not 100% sure)

The fact that the only 2 to exist both have the overprint in the wrong location AND upside down AND the wrong color is enough to qualify this as an error. Had the overprint been in brown, and at the bottom of the card, now you are on to something.

I agree that it's a printing error.
