t206 backs, mainly

[Archive]

Posted By: identify7

I am not a collector of t206 cards, and I have very little knowledge about them.

It seems to me that there are lots of backs in this set which have the same (or nearly so) fronts. Also, some sets other than t206 use the same fronts with their own backs. Examples of this may be red cross, t213, and others.

In addition to this, some sets appear to use the same "picture" but crop it, color it, etc. differently. Examples of this may include s84? silks and T3s.

If the above is true, a single player portrayal could be represented on many different cards. If I was to begin such an accumulation, which player/pose choice would yield the most different cards?

Anyone have examples of this type of accumulation?


Edited to add:

Or if what I am asking involves a research project, perhaps you can suggest a source for identifying all t206 front/back combinations. The t206 Museum did not seem to have that information (or I missed it).

Thank you.
