I agree in this case. As with most blank-back cards, I have much less of a problem with writing on the back than printed-back cards. I think it's because blank-back cards tend to draw actual comments/details about the people, stats, how the owner felt, or time in which they played. In these cases, they aren't just 'stray' markings or other scribble.

I mean, c'mon. How can someone not appreciate the writing on the back of these Beatles cards?

There is almost nothing we haven't chatted about before. However we do have 1500+ new members since that thread was started, so even old topics can be reviewed and discussed.
Sometimes I get to reading links posted, as that one, and I end up reading something for much longer than I intended. I am not sure if that is good or bad but am leaning towards the latter....

I love this card because it has writing on it, not in spite of it. Somebody used it as a toy and not a keepsake. Saved me a few shekels 81 years later as well...
