Hey Val
Some time ago we had a thread about doppelganger collectors. I think you and Dan Mckee might be close to the ticket for me...Love me some backs of cards. Even Heinie is agreeing with a WTF gesture. The rarer the better!!

Hey Leon,
My first instinct re your including me in the same category as Dan Mckee was to consider it an insult (hi Dan!), but then I quickly remembered that my drinks at the Net54 "dinner" at the National are on your tab, so all is good! :D

I can match your Leader Theatre, but I'm still wanting a Shotwell for my type collection. I assumed that obtaining scarce type cards would become easier after you sold your fantastic type collection a couple of years ago, but it appears to me that you have gotten back into the game. :(

I can't get it out of my blood, Val. Here is one I didn't have when I still had my 19th Century type collection many years ago..
I guess this one doesn't have a back but it has a printed front, and was part of a set, which is sort of scarce for a cabinet card.....

I don't specifically collect backs, however I have really come to appreciate them more over the last few years. I really enjoy the graphic and typographical design of many of them. Definitely want to add an Croft's Candy. Those red back Croft's are awesome!!

Very nice Leon! A Joseph Hall cabinet of the Washington team is one of my Holy Grails.
