One of the most difficult - and least understood - varieties of T206 back is th simple blank back. Unmarked with the traditional back advertisement for an ATC tobacco brand "authentic" blank backs are typically hand cut and not factory cut. These cards are thought to be a form of "printer's scrap;" cards which were not completed and subsequently discarded for whatever reason only to be later hand cut. Were sheets taken out the back door and hand cut to be collected by an ATC employee's child? Were they cut down and used as reference copies by the printer or a quality control worker? It is likely we will never know - what we do know however is that the T206 scholars at T206resource.com estimate that the blank back is the tenth most scarce back variety of all more difficult than even the highly sought after Carolina Brights or Piedmont Factory 42 back. Presented is a very attractive example of Art Fromme's card with such a blank back. Graded AUTH by SGC due to the aforementioned cutting method the card retains large borders on three sides a clean image and of course a blank back.
