the on thing that correctly identifies these cards is the back label...no back label means its not part of the set...

If this is all correct then is it your thinking that the reason Krause isn't found in any other set is because none of the other companies wanted to buy that image for their distribution? Also would this be your theory of what a blank back t206 is also?
I have been wondering if all the blank backs were their own set and should be cataloged, but had no reason to back it up.
I was still wanting to know if, now that there is a list of e90-1 exclusive artwork, if there are any other blank backs that are on that list that anyone has ran across.
