- - They're Called Rare Backs... (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=331799)

Not sure if I was the last owner but I used to own that Howell miscut back, great card!

Maybe not Rare but Tougher?

Great cards everyone....that Wajo Drum...oh my!!!

Luke, Chris, Sonny...great cards!

I also like "mid-tier", or "2nd tier" for backs like Cycle, Old Mill, Tolstoi, Sov, EPDG, etc.

Beautiful cards- love this site

Great backs everyone. I am a front fellow myself, and probably don't deserve membership in the back fraternity, but I will share the two least common T206 backs that I have.

I have learned to live with and not disdain the stain on Griffith. And like Ted pointed out earlier with his Elite Eleven post, sometimes a Piedmont can be an exotic bird indeed, like my Factory 42 Street.

As Ringo Starr would sing.... "It Don't Come Easy".... this SOVEREIGN 460 card of Cobb is not an easy card to find.
I would consider it quite rare.

Red Cobb SOVEREIGN 350 is considerably easier to find.....but, tough.

A couple more and a non-T206 toughie.

Amazing cards everyone!

A few of mine.

Meanwhile, in the back of the classroom, the T205 Gold Borders ignore Professor Burdick and toss spit wads at each other.

.............. yes, Luke, they are called "mid-tiers" ............. :)

Fun, fun, Scott

Nice cards everyone!

I'd personally draw the line at Hindu...putting them just above that mid-tier category.

(*Scarcity list taken from T206 Resource.)

The scarcest back I've gotten thus far...Rube Geyer front. Or is it back? With T206 cards, the picture is on the back; the main attraction is the ad, right?

Here are examples of 1-10 on Mike's scarcity list, and I added the Blue Old Mill

Getting Buggy over here!

this is the kind of infestation I can get behind....

Ryan, that’s awesome!…Not too many people can post all of those.

T206 A - B - C - D connection

T206 dudes......

Are you in for a different challenge ? Try putting together an American Beauty - Broad Leaf - Cycle - Drum backs connection.
American Litho printed 190 subjects in their 350-only Series of the T206 set with these 4 rare backs.

I have yet to find the blue Chase with the DRUM back. I'm an optimist; therefore, I expect that it will eventually be discovered
for me to complete this tough A - B - C - D connection.

Furthermore, you can up this challenge by including the desired subject's 1910 COUPON card (there are 48 subjects to choose from).

My pleasure Chris. Enjoy!

Here's some rare backs. :)

Maybe not the rarest, but every once in a while a nice Big-Tayto-Loaf hits the spot.

Brian

Drum Raymond, Hindu Cicotte, Merchants Evers, T207 Red Cross, wow! Great stuff everyone!

I've posted these before and they are what led me to NET54, but I don't mind doing it again - IF you don't mind seeing them again!

Luke, those HOF rare backs are ridiculous! Bravo!

There are some AMAZING cards on this thread.

Awesome cards Luke! I've shown this one before:

My take is that off back has become popular with people doing binder sets and aiming to have them be anything but Piedmont or Sweet Cap. Not too many people want to have the true rare backs in a binder, so I think the off back generally has cards split into three groups without any real groups of the backs beyond "rare": 1) Piedmont/Sweet Cap, 2) Off backs = Tougher than Piedmont/Sweet Cap up to Hindu, 3) Rare backs = Hindu and tougher.

And here are some of mine that would fall into that rare category. :)

David, awesome array of rare backs.

Always a pleasure seeing your cards. Hope you're well.

im a big fan of why collect 1.. when you can collect 2... :)

I'll play in a little while.....seen some of my old cards here, like Ira BB

Exclusive 12 red HINDU run

Thirty-five subjects from the 350/460 Series were printed with HINDU backs. They are very difficult to find. To date, 32 have been confirmed.
Only 12 subjects from the 460-only Series were printed with HINDU backs. This group of T206's are a bit easier to find with the HINDU back.
Therefore, I took the easy way out and put together this "Exclusive 12" run......starting with these 3 cards.
