Nice start, Jimmy. I've had some of the real tough backs for 20+ years (Lenox, Broad Leaf 350), but I just got my first Piedmont 42 this year at the National (from Ted Z), and my first Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 42 (no overprint) less than a month ago from a board member. When I started collecting T206 backs in the early-mid 90s, few people paid attention to factory numbers, so I just went for the different brands and the number variations (150, 350, 460) within the brands that have them. About a month ago I decided to inventory all my T206s and record each back including the factory numbers for Sweet Caporals; I found that I had all of them except the SC 350-460/42, but I was able to get one right away. Now I just need the real toughies: red Hindu, Broad Leaf 460, Drum, Uzit, brown Old Mill, brown Lenox and Ty Cobb (if you consider that a T206).
