JP- Yeap, it is a little more than a regular blank back, I guess. I have shown it a million and two times before but never tire of seeing it. I got a wild hair up my arse one day and bought it from a board member who had just acquired it. I guess it was the proverbial hot potato and I landed with it, and have really enjoyed it. regards

I know what that's like...it's like your multi-overprint that I think about at least on a weekly basis. Some day she will reside in my collection. I'll add $20 to the pot daily, and a few tears of jealousy, until one day I make it unbearable for you NOT to sell it to me.

Amazing proof! Definitely envious of that purchase!

Proofs are worth WAY more than blank backs. I paid four digits for a proof years ago and actually felt like I got a good deal. Thankfully I still have it

Hi JP,

I'd pass on the blank back. Most of the ones on the market are bogus anyway. They are bleached to remove die or they are skinned cards. Most of the real ones are handcut. $1000 was a generous offer you made.
