Per this "probable no print" designation Does that mean that this was a previously unknown card ? Looks like it says it doesn't exist with Sweet Cap 460 fact 30 on the second link you posted. I guess bottom line is this front back is super rare then.

Correct, this front/back combo had not been cataloged. Without the high price it wouldn't have stood out to me to have known that, but some people know the set so well they catch those type of things right away and that is what drove that price up.

...Or maybe they realllly wanted the stray hair that the seller enclosed in the sleeve for cloning purposes?

I sent this sale over to t206 resource site. They emailed me back and said this seller had sold several of these backs. This back was never a factory issue. They believe it to be hand cut from a scrap sheet that was never released. Said they are familiar with this particular persons sale if these backs and that is what their research points to. Interesting

Cool thanks for that thread. I actually won a card from this guy last night it was a raw EPDG. It looks very good so hoping it isn't trimmed. If not I may have gotten a winner.

The Schlei? I don't think it is trimmed. Super nice card.
