Subject Front/Back Combo Completions
 

I have been collecting T206 Boston National front/back combos for quite a while now. I've completed a few but my latest is Charlie Starr. This particular subject back run is special to me as so many of my good hobby friends played a part in me completing it. Jim Rivera, Craig Wright, Art Martineau and King Yao. Lee Behrens and Mr. McKenzie get mentions for assists.

Starr is a difficult subject to find with any back other than Piedmont 350 and Sweet Caporal. I was really happy to be able to complete this group with the help of so many good people. Thanks to Chris Browne for putting together the front/back image.

Beautiful Run
 

Sweeeeet! Great accomplishment, Tim!

Amazing what the people of Net54 can do for each other :D

I love the way Chris sets these up...he's the dude!

Congratulations Tim - It's especially kewl in that it has the ABCD 350 series run!

Best regards and happy collecting :)

Craig

Tim....
 

WOW:eek:

CONGRATS!!

this is amazing:eek:

That is so cool. It is funny how the different brands of tobacco result in different shades of blue in the background, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

I love the way you guys display these front/ back runs. It works perfectly.

Congrats. That is some seriously cool stuff.

Tim, that's a really excellent back run. Congratulations.

back run
 

Nice back Run. Posts like this have inspired me to attempt a back run of Chief Myers Fielding cards. I currently have 6 backs . Carolina Brights,EPDG,Old Mill, Pied, SC. ant T213. I would graeatly appreciate any help from other Board Members to add more backs of this card to my run. Please contact me if you have any. Thanks to Everyone for sharing photos of thier collection on this site. I really enjoy seeing the different ways everyone collects.

Very cool congrats !!!

Nice tim...ive always liked the starr pose!

Great accomplishment Tim congratulations. What was the final card for
your achievement?

Great job Tim! I'm trying to do the same thing with Dode Paskert and finding it extremely difficult to come up with the non Piedmont and SC backs (although I was lucky enough to pick up the Broadleaf first). How long did it take you to complete? I'm finding that having patience is the most difficult part of the task!!

Steve

Thanks everyone.

Pat-The last T206 was the Drum. I was surprised when I learned a fellow collector owned it and really happy we were able to make a deal. The last of the cards shown was the T213-1.

The Starr run took 4 years and 3 months to complete.

Starr backs run
 

Congrats Tim.. I just recently fished a much shorter but just as rewarding backs run on Ganley. Chris Browne did the grid for me also and I love those pictures. Gotta figure out what the next move is now..

I see there is no Cycle, is there still the potential of one showing up?

That Broadleaf does look familiar. :rolleyes:

Lee

Thanks Doug. Please post that image again in this thread in case anyone missed it. Or anyone else that has a front/back run to share.

Here's another one I finished a while ago. Lindaman doesn't come with some of the tougher backs in the set, but several of the front/back combo's of him aren't easy to come by.

Lee-The Cycle is there. And that Broad Leaf is probably one of the best looking 2's in my collection. Thanks again.

Tim,

Congrats on a killer Starr run. It is sweet success threads like this that inspire me to tackle a player back run someday. Gotta get to 518/520 first. Keep up the great work on all things related to 206s!

Best,

Andy

I guess I should have my glasses on when I look at things these days. I thought it was odd there was no Cycle.

I was able at one time to complete Ewing and Brown, Chicago & Washington.

Lee

Tim,
Nice run. Congrats.
JimB

Kudos Tim. Nice runs...Thanks for sharing!!

Hockey assist
 

Tim, nice back run. I get a hockey assist for getting it to the guy who got it to the guy. The best part is that you already had the red blob variation before the prices took off.

Good stuff Tim.

Congrats!
 

Tim:

That is a very nice assembly!

Kevin

Always liked that pose. Great run sir!

I'd love to see some other front/back runs. They don't have to be T206 but can be. Please post them if you want to share.

Mattern is another Boston Nat'l subject that wasn't printed with a lot of backs. He was one of 16 of the 200 print group 2 subjects omitted from the ABCD printing.

Amazing run Jamie, I'm thinking 2013 is the year you will add a new one.

Nice displays everyone!

Amazing back runs! Congrats to all who have the patience to see these through!

Ganley run
 

Wow what a great thread. Did Chris Browne put together most of these grids?

Here is my meager contribution .

Really nice guys-Tim they look great!

It is verry nice too see all these run !
Congrat !!

Poor Mans Run
 

:)

No way Larry, that is a very sweet back run!

hi tim
neat run of the boston backs, my favorite t206 team set.
drew

Thanks guys for sharing your back runs. They're all fantastic.

Here's another of the Boston guys, Beals Becker. He's one of the print group 2 subjects that was not printed with any of the assorted backs. (Outside chance a Tolstoi may show up.)

Much nicer scans Jamie. Shown many times :D

holy cow! i'm blind:eek:

very impressive runs......congrats guys:)

some really nice collecting efforts here thanks to all who shared.

I have some but do not have the scans put together like shown here. here are some that are put together. I have also got much help from hobby friends to complete these.

I have some cool Baltimore runs I will try to get together and post later but for now

nice thread Tim

Wow.Amazing Revelle Back Run.

thanks Jason

do you have the Revelle t210? series 2 is the easiest of all the 210 series but Revelle is quite difficult

Nice SL Hindu run Jim... I can certainly appreciate the difficulty for putting that together.

Jamie

thanks Jamie

I didn't focus solely on it but it took 10 years to complete. Once I got to 25 it was really slow waiting for certain cards to show up and finally 3 board members worked trades with me to finish. My last card was Persons and was as gift from Craig Wright.

I got a lot of help from Brian W and Mark F. at the end. Can't imagine trying to put that together today good luck.

Wow. I just wish I was a heavy Broadleaf smoker back in 1911.

Have shown these before, so apologies for doing it again. It actually was kind of bittersweet when I completed the front/back combos of all three Lajoie poses, because it was really fun chasing them down. I'm not much into upgrading but was able to pick up a nicer batting pose with a Sovereign 350 back today.

Those Naps are so cool Rob. Never get tired of seeing them especially the brownie. Best pickup of the decade.

Jim - Nice Hindu SL run. I'm just over half done with mine. Let me know if you have any dupes you want to part with. :)

Its always amazing to see this lajoie back

This may not belong in this thread, but I do have a couple of T206's in here.

Mike= WOW....
Rob= OMG

JIM R= DUDE, the Revelle BB and Brown OM are some of my favorite 206 PERIOD!:eek:

fantastic Mike. Thank you so much for sharing. Its nice seeing the collecting efforts of the members here.

Mike,
Awesome Evers collection!

Jim R.
Love the Hindu Southern League run!

JimB

My minor contribution. Confirmed Drum back is out there - somewhere.....
Also have a P350 MC (no name), a random stamp back & a couple Topps T206 frames.
When I first started the Downs run, I saw a list of 'possible' backs (OM, CB, PB etc). Wish I had picked a subject with more 'confirmed' backs.
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/w...206Downs02.jpg
http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/w...206Downs04.jpg

Love the Downs run Jon. Thanks for sharing.

Rob: The Lajoies are amazing. Do I have this right:there are no Lajoies with a Lenox back, but one was printed with a Brown Lenox? Has anyone ever explained why this would have occured?

Yes I have a Revelle and haven't seen another one come up for sale since I got it about six months ago.Yours is a very nice example.

I think at one point a black Lenox had been confirmed on a few checklists, but that one turned out to be a brown (the one I own, I think). So as far as I know, there hasn't been a black Lenox of the batting pose confirmed, but it is a possible combination.

I'll leave it to Tim to explain the possibilities of why we've seen a brown Lenox but not a black with this pose. I just collect 'em, I don't pretend to understand them.

Sean-There is a good possibility that the brown Lenox were a different subset than the black. While it's possible all confirmed brown subjects will eventually be confirmed with black, it's also possible that some brown Lenox subjects were not printed with a black Lenox back. Currently there are several confirmed with brown that have not been confirmed with black.

Ya'll are tempting me with these back runs...maybe a Lundgren Cubs back run???

Chris just made this scan for me

all 9 Baltimore players with BL 350

http://photos.imageevent.com/cfc1909...ltimore/BL.jpg

Wow Jim R, impressive collections. Great thread and collections most of us can only dream of.. A collection of anything Broadleaf is awesome.. Keep these coming..

OHHHHHHH!!! This is one of the coolest runs I have ever seen! How long did this take to assemble Mr. Rivera?

:eek::eek::eek: Awesome! :eek::eek::eek:

Derek
 

I didn't keep an exact record but it took between 10 and 12 years to find all 9 players with Broad Leaf.

Adkins, Cassidy and Dunn I have only seen the example I own.

Dessau, Hall Poland and Jackson I have seen 2 or 3 examples each.

Slagle and Strang I have seen 4 or 5 examples each.

I am sure there are more out there but this was a real tough set to put together.

Yeah, I was giddy as a school girl when Jim sent me the scans. :eek:

Jim....
 

Those B.L.s are a thing of beauty!!!Wow!!....btw....you hooked me up with my first B.L. Sam Strang Balty just because I didn't own one, then :) in the mail a strang bl shows up !! you just GAVE it to me,I had that puppy graded and love it!!! thanks again...sorry if I embarrased you, but i'll never forget how kewl you were to me and out of the kindness of your heart sent me that expecting nothing in return....we need guys like you in this hobby, it's what makes it a hobby:) these cards make us do strang and greedy things sometimes, but I like to give credit where credit is due and acknowledge your kindness....true great peops
