And yes, I would love to overpay somebody for that card if they own it.

EDIT: NVM, I've been made aware that is a T216 blank back (I'd still like to buy it though).

Phil, yes, that is my understanding as well and the reason I did not include it. This thread gives some clues on the differences between E92 and T216 blank backs: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=198503

We can add Knabe to the list of E92 Croft's Candy red backs.

This was quite the interesting back run pickup for me, (and DJ and I did confer before the card ended up with me... And a big thank you to DJ for bringing all of his red Croft's for in-person comparison).

When I saw the original scans of the card, I thought it was likely a fake back, similar to the T213-1 Coupons from several years ago. (And also a big thank you to the board member who didn't hesitate to send me a number of examples of those fake Coupons to see in-person for education and comparison.)

Turner was quite gracious in allowing me to have folks look at the card in person before finalizing the sale -- I gained comfort from having a number of experts look at the holdered card. While I don't want to speak on their behalf, their opinions that it is real gave me confidence.

I was having a tough time getting a clear high res scan, so Brian had DJ and me come by the REA office to have their photographer do high res photos of the Knabe and several of DJ's red Croft's for comparison. (Thanks!) It was much easier to see things and the back at that point.

(The photo below is me shrinking those high res photos for posting purposes.)

All in, thank you to everybody who took the time to share their knowledge and opinions.

Congrats, Steve! And kudos to Turner, DJ, Brian, et al. What a great hobby story with a terrific ending. Thanks for sharing!

Congrats to Steve and many kudos to all of those that helped make this happen for him!

Now then guys, your next mission impossible assignment is to repeat this performance with respect to a Croft's Candy red back of Hugh Jennings for MY BACK RUN!

[Leon]

Nice prick up, Steve!

that's certainly one way of looking at it!

Thanks, guys -- it's fun when we get to add something to DJ's checklist. I love threads like this one.

[x2drich2000]

Thanks Steve, I've updated the checklist of red backs.

I've also updated the notes on the Nadja Donovan to indicate the one in the PSA pop report is actually an E104-3. The Nadja Donovan is still unconfirmed.

Always looking to hear about any other examples that people can confirm exist from these sets.

Why isn’t Cobb in the e92 Dockman series? It was long thought he didn’t exist in the e92 Nadjas until 3 of them surfaced 6 yrs ago… is it possible he’s out there somewhere with a Dockman back?
