A Vintage Campanella Variation: 1950 R423 Purple Back, Graded A PSA 6!

Here's one of those weird vintage variations that you just sometimes stumble upon by happenstance. I was unaware that the Roy Campanella 1950 R423 had back color variations, but it does. When the below hit eBay, I would have been interested even if it was the Orange I already owned. However, it was even more intriguing as it was a new color I could add to my Campy Collection.

The Orange Back (which I erroneously called Red the first time around....thanks, color blindness!) is joined by this beautiful Purple Back. It's been graded a PSA 6 and was roughly the same price as the PSA 4 Orange I bought.

I love when the card back scans in better than the front. I only recall two of these graded Roy R423s ever hitting eBay and I'm happy to have landed both of them.
