In going through Scot Reader's seminal work, Inside T206, I took a look at the back combinations for our old friend, Doc Adkins. It looks like the T206 Adkins card can be found in eight different backs (American Beauty, Broadleaf, Cycle, EPDG, Piedmont, Polar Bear, and both Sweet Caps).

When I go through the population reports for SGC and PSA, I find something interesting. No EPDG cards of Adkins have ever been graded (EPDG backs are a possible combination for the Adkins card according to Reader's great research), even though backs that are more rare, such as Broadleafs are documented. In fact, as a Baltimore card collector, the EPDG Adkins appears to be the only one of the 73 possible Baltimore T206s not to be documented by a TPG while backs of Broadleafs, Carolina Brights, Drums, etc. have all been noted for the Baltimore players by SGC and PSA in their pop reports. Is a T206 Adkins with an EPDG back a real thing?

Additionally, PSA has listed two separately graded Drum backs for Adkins, even though this does not look possible according to Inside T206. Were these both simply mistakes/entry errors?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated, thanks!
