Anti-halation backing, a Common card
An anti-halation backing is a layer found in many photographic films, and almost all film intended for motion picture cameras, usually a coating on the back of the film base, though it is sometimes incorporated between the light-sensitive emulsion and the base.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Its purpose is to absorb light that passes through the emulsion, thus preventing any light from being reflected back through the emulsion from the rear surface of the base, or from anything behind the film, such as the pressure plate of the camera.
- This prevents a halo-like effect from forming around bright points or edges in the image.
- Still cameras, which handle less film and thus contend with less wear, typically hold their film in the gate with components painted or treated to be black, so reflections are less of an issue and few still films made use of anti-halation backings.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Anti-halation backing article was read about 5,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 44 and blocks with 19: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
