Hello everyone,

I would like to pick the experts' opinion on a 1675/16750 blue back insert.

Does the fading look natural to you? Whats your general opinion on this one?

Pocosso · 19 May 2020, 12:48 AM

Could you post some picture of the back?

BigBlue1 · 19 May 2020, 01:04 AM

I agree with Dave. Photos of the back would help. 2 seems off to me, but I am no expert at the Pepsi. Please wait for others to chime in.

Dave4D · 19 May 2020, 01:15 AM

Thanks a lot already for chiming in.

Here is the back.

Looks good to go. The fading in the red area appears natural.

I think Ill refrain from advice if I'm on my crappy phone. The twos are perfect.

The Fading looks good to me, the font is thin, but it may be a late insert and acceptable.
It looks in good condition for a 16750, if you are looking for one for a 1675 I would focus on a fatter font one.

Absolutely, it is perfect for a 1675, what I meant was that the production era is probably late 70s/80s, same for the 16750.
But Yes, is is perfect for a 1675.

Hello Pocosso. The production era is 1980s - bluebacks were not in use until the 1980s. Based on my experience, bluebacks were in use sometime prior to 1984 -around 1981, 1982 or 1983 (choose the year since this is not an exact science) and thereafter up until today.
