Making a case to put Upside Down Back on T206 Scarcity Checklist

[mrvster]

YOU ROCK! I WANT Wags so BAD!

You've always been in my corner.....

that question was a good one.....are they upside down fronts??? I don't think I could answer that......just thinking logically that the backs were upside down cause if it were the front, they would notice right away??? thoughts???

Johhny...wags really doesn't fit in your collection...unless you were to obtain the diecut wags...or the uncut strip wags!!!!

On a more relevant note perhaps there should be 2 lists...a list of back rarities...based solely on the backs including color variations regardless of why they were printed...and a separate list including proofs, freaks, scraps, ets...intermingled with the backs to give an idea of rarity/value when comparing these apples...to those oranges?

Just a guy who couldn't give a rats ass about T206's anymore's...opinion.

Johnny, if you think they printed the back first, weren't happy with the results, and so then printed fronts as tests and did so 'upside-down' in relation to the backs, then I think it's logical to think the fronts are actually upside-down, and the backs are right-side-up.

If you believe this, then you should re-display all your upside-down backs by turning them over.

I am obsessed with getting wags! I have been trying for 35 years or so....



My dream card is the Wagner ghost scrap with magenta player on front pied 150 scrap! I AM IN LOVE WITH IT

I think a board member owns it here????


I always am in love with the strip.....to think wagner had it in his pocket
Id hate to get rid of all my scraps/ rarities.....but the wags would make it feel better

I am toying with the idea of an developing an "error" checklist....in rarities....scrap maybe....

upside down backs are undervalued and underappreciated inmho.....a bl 460 rarity


I want more thoughts
