Does anyone have a list (or can point me to the list) of the 1910 Obak slogan/front combinations. I know there used to be a good reference from Jeff Obermeyer that was online, but the link seems to be dead now. I know "Just Right" is the rarest slogan with only Browning and Kusel fronts, but am curious about the next few slogans. Thanks for any help.

Jeff Obermeyer had a great checklist in the VCBC #22 (Feb 2000) and updated in VCBC #24 (Jan 2001). So, like most card checklists that are 12 years old, there must be new finds since then. I am not sure if there is a more current list. At that time 'Just Right' was the scarcest, only appearing on Browning and Kusel in the 175 series and Dillon and Moser in the 150 series. Funny, but I just picked up a Kusel 'Just Right' on ebay a couple of weeks ago to upgrade the one I had with a bit of back damage. Next in line at 7 different subjects were 'Immensely Popular' with 3 (150) + 4 (175) and Instantly Popular with 5 (150) + 2 (175). 'The Story in the Smoking' has 8 different subjects with 4 in both the 150 and 175 series. It took me only a couple of months to put an entire 35 slogan set together about 10 years ago, and finally just upgraded my 'Just Right'. If Mark Macrea is around he could comment to any known updated list.

There was a decent card breakdown by the different backs and subjects on a website called vintagecardboard.net but can't seem to find it anymore. I believe the list was done by Mark Macrae but could be wrong. Maybe some of the other T212 experts will remember this and know more about it.

In the 150 Series of T212 the "Just Right" slogan can also be found on Coy.
