T207 confirmations - checklist.

[frohme]

Over the past few months and as far back as 2016, we've had confirmation threads on T207 backs (Napoleon, brown-ink, blank) and various updates on the Anonymous Factory 3 Recruits. To all of you that participated, a heartfelt thank you for your inputs. The combination of those threads, published articles, and the experiences of a number of T207 collectors has culminated in an updated checklist for T207 - one that includes not only the usual/relevant meta information (position, team, league, RC/HOF/...) and the key T207-specific information (class), but also includes the pose<->back confirmation threads to give a more complete picture of T207, similar to what's available for T206 and T205. Back-counts per pose are a natural outcome of this work. Links to reference images of the groupings by back are provided for most backs, though some of of those visuals are not complete yet.

I know there are poses for some backs (brown, blank) that have been reported that are not yet confirmed on the list as images haven't come in yet. Once they do, those cards will be added as confirmed, but for now, they are marked as 'Verbal-only'. My process going forward is to take and note verbal and TPG confirmations but not mark them as confirmed until I see an image front/back. I have also gone back and reviewed the original Napoleon confirmation thread for 'confirmations' that have no image and moved those to 'verbal-only' as there are at least a small handful on that list that have no corroborating image. The same work will be done later for the brown-ink and blank backs.

I am intending this spreadsheet (and thread?) as a sort of resource collection point for T207 so that future collectors might have a consolidated location to go to for more information. Scarcity information, links to key documentation and printed resources, etc... but that's all just thinking at this point. Ideas and input for things you'd like to see are very welcome.

So here it is ... this one includes confirmations of all known front/back combinations across the ten ~'standard' T207 backs: Recruit x2, Anonymous x2, Napoleon, Broadleaf, Cycle, Red Cross, blank, and brown-ink (as of May 2025) and has all the usual ancillary columns to let you filter/sub-divide and conquer to your heart's content.

I plan to update this thread when/if I add new material, but for now this is it for my contribution.

Thank you all - I think it's been ~20 years now (or very soon) since I first came across Net54. Its been quite the ride.

Feedback ideas, corrections, etc... very much welcomed and appreciated. There are a number of things that haven't been touched/reviewed in years that have simply been copied over as it has evolved ... there are errors and holes, no doubt.

Thank you (alphabetically) to Robert, Marc, Bryan, Luke, Ron, Anson, and Mac for all the conversations, trades, what-ifs, etc... over the years, and the reviews and feedback as this came to shape. Special thanks for inspiration to Tim Newcomb and Bob Marquette for the VCBC articles that got my interest in T207 started, so many moons ago ...

Hope some of you find this useful - enjoy.

A lot of great info Mike all in one place...if the color cartridges on my printer weren't bone dry, I would have already printed it off. Keep up the good work!

Huge spreadsheet. Hopefully I can view it all on my main computer. Thanks for your work.
