Waited a year and a half to post. Odd.

I'm in the market for a Leaf Paige, I was very intrigued by the blank back on ebay, and stumbled upon this thread.....wow lot of stuff going on here.

Is there a consensus on whether the blank backs were typically found in packs? Or are they most likely to have been cut from a sheet?

Personally, I think this card is ugly and ridiculously overpriced. But, considering a PSA 5 appears to be worth about $30,000 these days, a sharp looking blank back at this price seems like a decent buy to me. Blank backs, even in Leafs, are a tiny, tiny minority of cards, it’s a legitimately rare version of a very in demand and hyped up card. I’d pick the blank back over a PSA 5.

But then again, no one has bought it yet, I don’t play in this realm of the hobby (if I bought a $30K card, it wouldn't be just about the cardboard anymore, it would have to be a bit about $$$ too, and I wouldn’t enjoy it), and scarcity isn’t worth anything in and of itself.

Appreciate the thoughts. A not-so-great-looking PSA 3 just did $33,600 at Heritage. I would love to pay $30K for a PSA 5.

Guess I’m a few months behind.
