Does Not Look Right?

I can't recall ever seeing that image of Jennings on a card? Is it real?

Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>the front of the card looks good to me...the back...who knows? his grading is certainly optimistic...blank backs are definitely rare...but I'm not sure if I could tell if it's a true blank back from those scans.<br /><br />pete ullman

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>You've never seen a "two hands showing" T206 Jennings? There are others on eBay right now. How long have you been collecting?

Posted By: <b>Steve M.</b><p>that it is inaccurate to refer to it as a "proof". I always thought that a proof would have the cross checks (+) in each of the four borders and that there would be no name.

Posted By: <b>Kevin Saucier</b><p>I've shown a number of altered cards, not to predict doom or show-off but for instances just like this.<br /><br />As you have seen, blank T206 cards (and others) can be made and if skillfully done, are somewhat undetectable. Most, if almost all, are detectible though. Then again, many are the real deal.<br /><br />Luckily scans can sometimes have a blacklight or halogen effect. In other words, show flaws and imperfections. IMO the back of this particular card, as it is displayed, illuminates how an altered card is typically seen under a blacklight.<br /><br />Knowing what you know now, would anyone still seriously consider buying this card or cards like it? If so, the idea it can be altered has to be a factor or an underlying thought now.<br /><br /><br />Kevin

Posted By: <b>sagard</b><p>The guy is selling graded cards as well. I'd suspect that means this card isn't even a good alteration, but who knows.

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I am not vouching for this card as I have no experience with blank backs, but I have had many transactions with this seller and they have all been satisfactory. I purchased t205s from him for the most part.<br /><br /><br /><br />edited for speeling, I mean, spelling

Posted By: <b>Sean BH</b><p>I don't think that SGC will grade a blank back T206 from what I have seen, I have no idea about PSA does. I sure PRO would?<br /><br />That would be the only way I would buy a blank backed T206.<br /><br />Sean BH
