Card back countdown: #24 - 1911 T205

Damn. I ask you a simple question in the last post and no one answers? Does anyone read blogs anymore?

Fine. You're getting a post with no pictures then.

This is the latest installment of the Card Back Countdown, and this card isn't even mine. It's a scan that was kindly sent to me by dayf of Cardboard Junkie.

It's the back of a T205 card, known as the gold bordered set. The fronts are awesome, but you don't deserve to see them. (All right, quit bitching. Go here).

The backs aren't much to see. But the set's on this countdown for one reason.

It's supposedly the first case of yearly statistics being featured on a baseball card.

This is the set that started the wonderful mess we're in now.

And that's all I've got to say.
