Did the original seller of this card ask for a lot of $? If so, I think that's a clear indicator they knew of the significance of this SL with Piedmont 350 back, hence why they may have rebacked it.

But if it sold for cheap, then it just seems strange to me why they would go through all the trouble to reback it.

No - I bought it for less than $100 ($60 or $70 I think). Near certain the seller I bought it from had no idea. It is definitely weird that someone went to the trouble to reback this card. My best guess is that it was just practice for higher value stuff - only issue with that is you could find cheaper fodder than southern leaguers. I'll try soaking the card to see what happens - if it splits. Maybe I get lucky and get 2 rough cards out of it.

Maybe the rebacker did this odd combination just to see if it was detected - with a 350 back I wouldn't have given it another look.

Wow, then why reback the card? That is a ton of work to make zero additional dollars for a southern leaguer.

Do any blank fronts exist? I haven't had a chance to soak it yet to see what happens. I'll try to do so this evening.

Soaked the card for about an hour. Nothing. Still can't see a seam. It doesn't want to separate. Not sure how to proceed.

Might as well put it in a Card Saver and file it away to show to your friends and have a story.

I did learn that the typical weight of a card is approximately 0.025 ounces.

A hour may not be enough. Are you using distilled water? Also yes there are blank banks that are considered printer scrap.
