Sean,

Just curous on a wrong back set, how do you base what you need? Do you try for the numbers in order on the back of the card or do you sort them by the number they "should" have on the back? I've always wondered about that.

Thanks and take care,

Mike

As someone that collects wrong backs I try to collect all the different versions. With wrong backs there can be several different backs all with the same player on the front.

Sean this is not a 67 Dexter Press it is a 83 Starliner sticker. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Dexter-...p2047675.l2557

I reached out to the buyer and offered him $10 store credit.

I am in the same boat as Ben, I have 2x of the same front with different wrong backs. The nicest one is a 1953 Whitey Ford in NM with wrong back. I am hoping one day these errors will be realized for what they are - unique, "low numbered" copies of the cards from the 50's-70's.

I knew you would get bit the collector in you came out

now, you have the "scrap" eye as I can see......maybe the scraps will take hold of you

Seems to me collecting a set of 1953 Topps wrongbacks would be an impossible task.

As a 13 yr old in 1953 I bought hundreds of packs, I have collected '53's for many years and right now have 2 complete sets and many singles, and I have NEVER owned or ran across a '53 Topps wrongback!

I can't believe collecting a full set is even REMOTELY POSSIBLE!

It's fun to collect a set that's impossible.

It's more challenging. It forces me to be on the lookout at all times knowing this could be a 40 or 50 year task (if it is possible).
