1960 Baseball Hi-Lites blank backs
 

I'm looking for information about 1960 Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites with blank backs. We know cards #1-18 were printed in either red-and-black with printed backs, or in black-only fronts.

I've been asked to confirm whether or not the all-black cards can be found with printed backs, or if those are all blank backs.

Can you help?

Have you gotten any further with your question?
 

I too am curious. How RARE are the black and white version as opposed to the red, black and white? What's the premium generally on them? The few black and white I have seen have ALL been blank back.

Hi Bob, I only collect Cardinals so I have #s 12 Marty Marion, #13 Alexander, #14 Dean Bros, and #21 Musial. The first 3 I have in both formats, the Musial only in the printed back. I remember looking for a Musial with a blank back when I was putting these together, never found one. I think the blank backs are only #s1-18.

I would surmise that the blank backs (black print) were printed last, because they corrected the reversed negative on the Dean Bros card. See photo.

Thanks, all
 

We're going to list the set in the 2011 book, probably under CVC Baseball Hi-Lites.

It appears they were #1-18 only, all blank-back.

Randy, good catch on the Dean photo!
