What is your favorite back?

Posted By: Jason LI am not a collector of cards for their backsides; however, Ted's recent post of the Carolina Brights Chase on another thread reminded me that there are some neat ones out there, and I can see why they are sought after. So I would be interested to put it to the Board: What is your all-time favorite card back design amongst pre-war cards? and why? (design, scarcity, just cuz it's your card, etc) Post pics if you got 'em! I will cast the first vote with T206 Carolina Brights - (really like the card Ted, thanks for posting)

Posted By: S GrossBeing one of the worst spellers in English history, I have always enjoyed these two: T211, as mentioned above, a great back, but, at least they spelled Base Ball correctly .......... <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1226606456.JPG" alt="[linked image]"> .......... and would hate to be the final proof reader to sign off on the mis-spelling of the Company's (Khedivial) name ............ <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1226606594.JPG" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: Ted ZanidakisNot "accidently", ole buddy.....I guess you are "bustin" me, however...... The 1910 Coupon cards were printed at American Lithographic concurrently with other White Border T-cards (that Burdick has classified as T206's). Therefore, until some one convinces me otherwise, I firmly believe that these Coupon's are the 16th T-brand in the so-called T206 set. Coupon Tobacco was part of the ATC monopoly. Burdick was great in classifying every piece of cardboard; but, he missed the "Louisana Shrimp" boat on these Coupon cards. T-Rex TED

Posted By: leonI think I am the lone hold out but on this one I just won't rewrite history. Burdick said T213 had brown captions and blue captions. He didn't differintiate type 2's and 3's but he did make note of the Coupon T213-1's being on heavy paper, which they are. Again, I know I am almost the lone hold out but I am going by the book on this one. I know he made mistakes but we have mistakes in many areas of life that we accept ie...the English language and other places. Coupons are T213's, just as they have been classified for 70 yrs.......take care (he did say they had designs of T206 though, so he did think about the relation) <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1226758736.JPG" alt="[linked image]">
