Default Plank back

I believe the same thing about the Joe Jackson Minor League postcard from a few years back as well that sold in a major auction, but that one was graded. No offense at all, just my observation.
There is a very small area - I mean very small, on the back, where a piece of the postcard is missing. It does appear that there is printing on the back. I could make out a border. That's about it. I just thought it was a unique looking piece. The seller said he had a Johnny Evers as well, but sold it. I would've liked to have seen the back on that one just to compare the two.
