Yes, they are rare. I bought my second one about 3 months ago. Usually they are smooth and feel much like the regular backs. There is an advertising poster but I have yet to see one that was complete and if I recall it only contained a few cards (I own a Moran blank from said poster and have seen a Matty). They are on thicker cardboard and slightly (very slightly) larger than regular T-205s. Blank backs are found about as often as Hindu (maybe a little more often). Blank backs are most likely printer scrap. They went through the normal printing and cutting process but missed the advertising before cutting. Probably test runs. Neither blank backs I own, nor several I have seen, seem to be hand cut. The T-205 D. Jones I recently picked up was centered nicely and measured true to both Jones I already own.

May I inquire as to what you spent to get your blank back. I would be interested in owning it as a Phillies collector.
