“ Is the card back stained or is it supposed to look like that? ” -Billy Kingsley

“ When these vintage looking cards first started I really liked them. The nostalgia has waned for me. My biggest problem is the lack of a first name and team name on many of the fronts. ” -davidhandberry

“ Travis looks very pensive....deep thoughts. ” -rmpaq5

“ Good looking vintage card. ” -parsley24

“ Loved these retro cards when they came out. I think I have way too many cards to chase to build the set. But whatever that is typical for all the zillions of sets I'm trying to "build". A lifetime of completing very few sets. However, the internet makes it easier to build them now-days. ” -captkirk42

“ I did not like these Blue Jays uniforms at all ” -switzr1

Billy Yes the "stains" on the back are intentional to give it a more "vintage" look. Sadly the "stains" were exactly the same for each card. I don't think they did any ranomization in the location, size or shape of the stains. Some cards seem to have it lighter or darker. That might just be regular inking issues.
