T206 Carolina Brights Larry Schlafly PSA 2 – A Rare Back with Only 10 Graded Examples
This is a special offering for the serious T206 enthusiast. Presented here is a T206 Larry Schlafly with the incredibly rare Carolina Brights advertising back, graded PSA 2. Issued through Factory 42 in Durham, North Carolina, the Carolina Brights back is one of the most regionally limited and scarcely encountered backs in the entire White Border series. According to PSA’s population report, only 10 examples of this card have been graded, regardless of condition—an extraordinary level of rarity, even within the already complex world of T206 backs.
The front of this PSA 2 example retains strong visual appeal. The colors are still rich, the portrait well-registered, and the overall presentation remains stable despite expected wear consistent with the grade. The focus here, however, is on the reverse—where the elegant Carolina Brights typography is boldly printed and well-centered. Few backs evoke the mystique and challenge of Carolina Brights, which were likely produced in limited regional quantities and have become prized targets for back collectors, type collectors, and advanced set builders alike.
With a total graded population of just ten, this card stands as one of the rarest Schlafly variations and an important piece for any collector aiming to assemble a meaningful T206 portfolio. Rarely offered, even more rarely preserved, and practically never duplicated—this is a genuine opportunity to secure a true back-rarity cornerstone from baseball’s most iconic card set.
