the donlin I have has a protective (peel off) over the adhevsive, not quite dead center & not sticky at all, but when lifted the underneath is like a glue, I decided to leave it on, as the donlin have in excellent condition. exactly the same as were the other 3 i've ran across since 2001 positioning size, looks from factory.

The strip visible is as slick as a baby's bottom not sticky nor tacky, not anything but slick, but lift it with a razor blade, sticky underneath. It has been placed there by a machine for sure. I don't know when, which is why I am on this journey, I've seen 3 others Calf, Tx, and another here in Fl. exact same position and line of adhesion. The last time I sought out information on these was to no avail, just the other 3 turned up, not to mention hardly anyone has the sovereign 150 backs, which are supposed to be one of the most readily available and common backs from factory 25. I really do believe that first print run was huge, but many were designed for an album thus resulting in the rarity of those particular backs today. I believe the albums are long since gone. Anyways, I have now started to collect the set, and amass as much information regarding those backs as possible.
Sovereign 150 backs known to me, held by collectors, with Wayne's topping the list at 6,5,4,3,3,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1.. should be 36 total so far (this does not include any seen on ebay although they are scarce there as well and not often seen: reasoning some of the ones counted for collectors, may be listed on ebay as well, but doubtful). If anyone has any, PM me preferably or post to this thread. Thanks
