wrong backs
My Dad is working on a 1960 set and he showed me something today I had never seen before He has card #289 Willie Jones, and then he had another Willie Jones with card #291 Bob Keegan on the reverse. Anyone ever seen this example before? It's perfect so it doesn't look like a sheet got fed wrong or something, more akin to the '52 Topps Page/Sain situation, but I've never come across it before.

I have a lot of wrong backs from 1963 and 1964 and most have the backs inverted versus the fronts. Check and see if thats the case with yours.... if so, you have a sheet that was fed in backwards and hence the wrong back.
|
That was my first thought, but they both face the same way as every normal card in the set. Hence my comment that it wasn't a case of the sheet being fed wrong.
|
If the cards front and backs are the directions they are supposed to be it is because they loaded the wrong fronts. If it was more modern think sheet A fronts with sheet B backs loaded the proper direction.
|
Thought of that too, but the numbers are only 2 apart, 289 and 291, which seemed odd, wouldn't they be on the same sheet?

Wrong backs on pre war cards has been a collecting niche *subset, for some, me included. This is sort of a wrong back (but when I think wrong back I think E92 series)...

Just to keep with the prewar thoughts, here are a few of the e92 wrong backs Leon was referring to.

Count me among those in the niche subset. I grab all of these that I can. They just don't come up that often pre-war outside of Play Ball. Here's a nice example-
