I don't suppose we'll ever really know?

John...I have a few of those ultra rare T206's with Coupon backs I'd part with for 200,000 a piece...as well as an unheard of T206 with a red cross back...but that one is 400K.

It may not be possible to ever know for sure, but it was just a thought that was going through my head as to why they only exist this way.

A lot of the baseball candy issues share the same printing design (on the backs) as the non sport issues and boxing issues from the same couple of years.

E102 and E8 battleships have the same backs (both anonymous)

E1 is the same back design as the E93-E98 and on and on.

Many of these are the same companies for both non sport and baseball (dockman, philly caramel, etc), but it's interesting when for example a Breisch Williams non sport issue has the same design as the E97s.

Obviously they were printed at the same place, but we can only speculate why the errors occured.

It makes a bit more sense to see a menagerie back on an E92 because they're both dockman issues, but I've never seen an error that involves two baseball issues. Pretty neat card.
