1941 Play Ball Wrong Back Checklist
I recently thought it would be fun to collect wrong back play ball cards as they are available, but still a twist to collecting to the play ball set. Soon after deciding to collect them there was a 42 card lot of them listed in a Legendary Auction, I was happy to win. What I haven't found is a check list of known fronts and backs so I thought I would share what I have with those wanting to know.
I am not an expert nor I have not been looking very long so my knowledge of most of this comes from the huge lot I recently bought (along with the few I had bought previously), but I thought it would be helpful to others. If you would like to add any that you know of I will add them to this list.

Andy,
I don't have a lot of them, but I try to pick them up when I see them. Some are out of my price range, but I think they are cool. Most of these I got for "cheaper" than their "right" back counters: Carl Hubbell front - Brancato back Harry Gumbert front - McQuinn back Pee Wee front - Judnich back Judnich front - Reese back Hudson front - Camili back I've seen a lot of other wrong backs, but sellers wanted much, much more than I wanted to pay! Cool idea - glad to see you have quite a few of them |

I updated the main checklist with the two that I didn't have that you brought to my attention. I do plan on adding to the list ones I know about, but don't own, but I have been very busy lately.
It seems that there are some that come up often, but there are some front back combos that don't seem to be that common. Again not an expert, so I am only surmising that the ones with the "Also look..." backs are harder to find.

Interesting Gunboat/DiMaggio because that is now the third back for Gumbert.
I know at one point when I first started doing my research there was another DiMaggio combo, but I hadn't looked back to see whom it was. I also surmise that Low#/High# combos, like your Gumbert/Dimaggio are rarer. Because when I do see repeats or "opposite combos" (meaning seeing the same combo of players but who is on the back and front switches) they seem to come from the same series. Again I have just started looking so I could be wrong.

I was able to add to my collection tonight at the St. Louis Westport show. Also found a new combo and updated the list with it.

Very neat. How did this happen to so many cards and who was the printer?
I can confirm a Chuck Klein front/Vince DiMaggio back -the only one I own and can send you a photo if you wish. |

I have already gotten proof if it is on my list. According to my personal checklist that is one of the ones I owned. I owned 63 prior to selling them all to another member.

I bought 63 from another member, flawless transaction... I have bunch of dups but only about half of the 144 unique combinations that I believe exist. I can post an updated list if interested.
I think the mystery is what a full uncut sheet looked like. You see 24 card panels sometimes advertised as full sheets but there are also some wide uncut strips that contain rows from multiple panels. Figuring out those sheet puzzles is the coolest part of collecting wrong backs IMO. |
