W517 Image on Front and Back ? Anyone Seen This?

I have a 1931 W517 Buccky Harris #9 card that has the regular image on the front of the card and the exact opposite image on the back of the card. Anyone ever seen this? It is like the ink bled through to the back of the card. However, the image is fairly clear. I just realized it myself after having it for a while. image

    could be a wet sheet transfer, the ink came from the sheet beneath it instead of the ink bleeding through the front. Put up a scan, sounds cool!

    I finally got the pictures posted. Thanks a million Republican Mass for all the help.

    its a wet sheet like RipublicaninMass said. caused when they stacked the sheets while still tacky.

    no such thing as bleed through, unless you find cards printed on tissue, and even then it would be very distorted at best...

    Ive seen most W sets with some type of wet sheet.

    here is a good example of a couple.... on a W516-2-1, and a E285
