We can add Knabe to the list of E92 Croft's Candy red backs.
This was quite the interesting back run pickup for me, (and DJ and I did confer before the card ended up with me... And a big thank you to DJ for bringing all of his red Croft's for in-person comparison).
When I saw the original scans of the card, I thought it was likely a fake back, similar to the T213-1 Coupons from several years ago. (And also a big thank you to the board member who didn't hesitate to send me a number of examples of those fake Coupons to see in-person for education and comparison.)
Turner was quite gracious in allowing me to have folks look at the card in person before finalizing the sale -- I gained comfort from having a number of experts look at the holdered card. While I don't want to speak on their behalf, their opinions that it is real gave me confidence.
I was having a tough time getting a clear high res scan, so Brian had DJ and me come by the REA office to have their photographer do high res photos of the Knabe and several of DJ's red Croft's for comparison. (Thanks!) It was much easier to see things and the back at that point.
(The photo below is me shrinking those high res photos for posting purposes.)
All in, thank you to everybody who took the time to share their knowledge and opinions.
