Blank backs are a blank palette. That said I have been a focused back collector since day one.

Woah, I assume that is someone's doodling and not as-issued?

Couldn’t agree more. Ad backs are some of my favorite parts about collecting. With a blank back, it feels like you’re missing out on half the fun.

Here’s one of my favorites (not a baseball front btw)

I tend to agree. I prefer ad backs, etc but it also depends on the card, the rarity/availability, the price etc.

It also depends if the cards have anything on the back or not. Some series like the Felix Mendelssohn are all blank back. Yet it has many great players and poses.

If my choice is getting a card I want or need that is a blank back or getting nothing

Then I personally prefer to pick up the blank back

The first major baseball cards set, and to some, the greatest baseball card set of all time is blank backed. In fact, to my way of thinking the three greatest baseball card sets of all time, Old Judge, T206, and M101-4/5 all have no stats on the back.

I think the Old Judge cards for me are the exception to my feelings.

Yeah, but 2 of these 3 great sets have neat advertisings on the backs!

Someone is/was practicing their "o's" Penmanship. Don't see that done today.

Or perhaps this artist was trying to depict a series of cascading Slinkys.
