As much as I'd like to say yes....... I am forced to say NO!!!
As a player since closed beta, I have almost every card back possible (ex, all gold card back since I don't live in China). And I always stand against releasing older card backs. I must then apply the same philosophy to Hero Portraits (Annoy-o is the one Hero Skin I don't have, and can't get, AND I WANT IT SO MUCH!!!). I don't know why I missed my chance at the time it was available, but I did, and I blame myself. It's just something that was in game at the time, and for whatever reason I didn't get it. Getting it now would cheapen the skin for me in a way. I'd know I didn't REALLY get the Anny-O skin the way it was intended to be collected. Not having it is just the price I have to pay for not being active enough at the time (or whatever other reason I missed it). Same goes for card backs. Not getting X card back because a player didn't meet the requirements to get X card back is just something that player should have to live with. Even if they didn't even play or hear of Hearthstone at the time the back/skin was available.
This is just my VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION, but it's just how I see rewards should be treated. It totally sucks for people who didn't get X Hero Skin or Card Back for whatever reason, however, I wouldn't start playing a game that was released 4 years ago, and expect to get the same things as someone who as been playing since day one. Again, just my VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION, sorry.
