rarest post war cards revisited 20 top

[hangman62]

Yes, I had to make sure it was real

In all seriousness....I really don't think Ive ever seen this card before

I saw a 55T blank back Snider was just auctioned off in Huggin/Scott

Obviously, I had to come from a factory sheet ?..I guess ??

Not necessarily. Topps sometimes accidentally misprinted and released cards. I've pulled a blank back from a pack. In 1971. If it was factory cut it was a mistake not scrap.

OK, yes..Ive heard and seen of 1971T with blank backs, or backs have the color layout, but no words or numbers printed.

This 1955 Topps J Robinson card is plain blank on back

I've got blank backs as far back as the fifties. Until relatively recently they were considered junk.

Wow, just my luck, I get it graded and it turns out to be pretty worthless junk
waste of 20 bucks !

Not junk at all, Ralph. I said "until recently". There is a market, definitely for HOFers with player collectors. I know I paid up pretty good for a Hank Aaron BB card because I collect Hammerin' Hank and it just fit perfectly with my collection. Your JR is the same way; it will sell for sure but it just may not blow the doors off when you put it up for sale. Heck, I'd like to own it.

Has anyone ever seen a 1960 Kahn's Ron Kline card with Pittsburgh on the back? It used to be in the Standard Catalog, and it's still included on some online checklists. I've not seen one.

That Snider looks hand cut to me, not from a pack.
