Awesome backruns, DJ!

Scott and DJ - nice! Love these threads!

Great looking runs gentlemen.

Bender White Cap so far, still have some toughies to get before completion.

everywhere I look, I am seeing DOTS
 

A couple more Dots to go for me.

Ok, someone has to be that guy and make that stupid comment:

Can anybody show a back run of 43 Larry Corcoran Old Judge cards?

Sorry - had to do that.

These threads are amazing, keep posting the different backs for the cards. These are the threads that are so fun to read. Ok, I'm like a second grader, these are the threads that have all the pretty pictures and not so much text.

Nice Phil!! I think that’s the first time I have seen them all laid out together.

Thanks Ryan,
I finally figured out how to use the tiling tool to put them all together.

Let's not be prejudiced against front runs too!

Apologies for sharing this one before, but it's my favorite run....

My contribution.

Been playing with this one for a while... there are some tough ones that I'll likely never get, but I'm ok with that

Scott, I love seeing that color and back run. I have never done a color run but it is so enticing, and Speaker is such a great player to have a run of.

Thanks Ryan - much appreciated coming from you and your incredible collection!

Amazing run Chad.

Scott, now we know where all the E94 Speakers have run off too...

Probably never own the UZIT or a T215 Pirate.

Here is my contribution. Love this card. Interested if anyone has one of the toughies for sale.

My contribution pales next to others posted, but for a low brow collector (note positioning of Cravath's cap), I am pretty savvy when it comes to Gavvy.

Missing near impossible (for me) Broadleaf and Carolina Brights backs.

Thanks Phil!

Very nice run yourself.

Thanks

Chad, Great looking collection. I especially like your Wajo portrait Hindu!

my completed non t206 dots miller run.

Great runs guys! I couldn't help but think of Ted Z. He had a few great runs (McGraw, Chase, etc). RIP buddy.

Here's my Chase run I'm working on with my son, big thanks to Chris B. for helping out. I need to update the P42 with this new one...

Wow, Pete, you finished it!

yes...thx to help from hobby friends! shout out expecially to steve, DJ and Mac for their kindness/help.

Wow! Wonderful, especially that Red Cross.

Thanks Ryan! A pretty solid member hooked me up. Thanks again!

Chad

Pete, do you still have your E94 Murray color run?

i sure do!

i recently added an off colored e97 to add to my run but i have no scan at the moment.

Nice Pete, thanks for posting.

Pete, I'm really liking your Dots Miller back run - congrats re completing it.

Nothing has been added to my Jennings back run since the last time I showed it. I'm still missing a Croft's Candy with a red back, a T216 Kotton with a "NGO" back, and a blank back. I've never seen any of these, but they should exist.

Always love that back run, Val...

Thanks, Leon. I really enjoy seeing all the back runs (and front runs, too). The run that gets my attention the most is DJ's, because our runs are very similar backwise, and DJ has the backs in his run that I'm missing from mine.

Here is the complete T206 Wajo run!

Very, very nice, Jay! I'm happy to have contributed to it.

My HOF back run in progress

Thanks for sharing, guys. Those runs are awesome. I don't really have any back runs anymore but here are 6 T203s with the scarcer Winner Cut Plug backs..

So you're the reason I can't find anyE94 Speakers! Beautiful run.

impressive Jay! congrats on that accomplishment!

Great thread, would love to see others post their runs here.

My son and I are working on a few "mini-runs"...we just completed this one...

(If anyone knows of a Jordan (SL) Blank Back, please shoot me a message).

Great Run Mike... happy to see the collecting itch is getting passed down to your son. Great job!

Simply incredible...amazing collections from so many of you!

Thanks for sharing!

This Bender run is incredible, thanks for sharing!

Helping my friend Jay Miller out posting the pics of this run he owns....

Nice run Jay...

Thank you Leon--I appreciate the assistance.

That is one impressive table of Wagners!


Brian

I always love to have an excuse to show this picture
 

I have definitely added since I've done this, but this is status as of about 10 months ago.

Jeffrey simply incredible!

Jay & Jeffrey, I'm lovin' your Wags & Cobb back runs because I'm partial to real-photo cards, especially cards with scarce/rare ad backs.

After those incredibly impressive Cobb runs and the Wagner run, I felt compelled to dig out and show off another couple show-stopping back runs.

The three different backs of National Caramel Charlie Hollacher:

And the tan and green backs of 1936 S & S Game cards of Kiki Cuyler:

Brian (these are complete runs, so you can't top them even if you try)

That is the best Hollocher run I have ever seen!

Jay, your Wagner run is almost as sweet!

Brian

Brian, your complete back run of S&S Cuyler cards is beyond outstanding! :D

Val, you are too kind. But I have to admit that, technically, it is not a Cuyler run at all, as the tan back variety spells his name 'Cyler'.

Brian

N.ate, wow!! As a back collector/ variations guy, that display is impressive.

Putting aside my obvious bias, that is a fantastic looking Gibson run.

Congrats, Cliff!

Richard.

Congrats Cliff! Great looking run.

Very impressive collection guys.. I enjoyed seeing all these backruns...

I love collecting different back runs... here are some of mine:

Complete Old Judge N172 back run

Perhaps, but you have the Red Cross, and that is a huge card.

There I was at the Net54 pre-War collectors get together in No. Va. at the beginning of February, wearing my Hugh Jennings back-run T-shirt that Steve ("brass_rat") & Bryan ("Jobu") gifted me about 4 years ago, and in the process of setting up my card display at the beginning of this wonderful event (thanks to Ryan & Andrew!). Whereupon, Steve comes up to me, hands me a wrapped package, and says, "open it, it's for you." I do as instructed and see that it is another Jennings back-run T-shirt. Steve asks, "what's different about it?" Without thinking, I instantly respond, "the size?" "No" says Steve, "look more closely." I do this , and OHMIGOSH, I see that the back run on this T-shirt has an additional card! At this point, Steve pulls this additional card out of his pocket, hands it to me, and says, "it's for you." The card is a T216 Kotton Cigs with the "NEVER GO OUT" back that I had been searching for forever but never seen and all but given up hope of ever finding. Steve told me he came across this card in a collection he was considering acquiring and instatntly knew he had to get it for me. Bryan then updated his design work for the T-shirt, and Steve got the new T-shirt made. Yes, I'm prejudiced, but you won't find two nicer guys in our hobby and/or on this forum!

A pic of my previous Jennings back run appears in post #30 of this thread. Below are pics of both back-run T-shirts, my new back run, and the T216 addition to it:

This is so great. It has to be one of the top ten posts ever. Congratulations, Val, and well done, Steve and Bryan!

Awesome!!!!! Congrats!!!! I made a tshirt for my miller run too...just recently...but I like yours better!!!!

This is the best thing I have read in a quite a while. Kudos to Val, Steve and Bryan. I love this.

Wow, that's amazing. I can certainly agree that Steve and Bryan are as good as it gets in the hobby. What a great story.

That is incredible Val. Congrats! Well done Steve and Bryan. That is really awesome.

Chad

Awesome story and a great group of guys.

What an awesome thing! So great to read a story like that.

These runs are kind of neat to see side by side. I've never collected cards in this fashion but it is tempting.....

That is one of the coolest hobby stories ever!

Wow, just wow on some of these back runs (Blunder 19 are you kidding me? So impressive!).

I have been working on a T206 Red Sox team set with all different backs. Right now I have 7 of the cards. I have polar bear, sovereign, cycle, old mill, AB, tolstoi, and EPDG. I have found there seems to be a cutoff between AB and the next level up, which I would consider to be Hindu. Was fairly reasonable to find the ones I have but Hindu is a whole nother ball game and I still don't have anything tougher than that. I suppose Carolina Brights would be next. Still need Speaker (will probably just do Piedmont or SC), Cicotte, Stahl no glove, Kleinow and Spencer. This has been a fun project and these are the only cards in my collection where displaying the backs is as much fun visually as displaying the front.

I noticed you have two T213-2s for each chase run. Are these different? Or do you just have two copies?

Edit: I’ll keep my post in case anyone else was as curious and unobservant as me, but I now realize they are team variations.

Val, I'm just so happy that the card eventually turned up somewhere, and you were able to complete the run. (Now if anybody comes up with a blank back or a red Croft's, consider me shocked!)

The hardest part was waiting several months to surprise you in person. :)

I don't have all the cards in a montage, but I think I finally managed to complete a player back run in my T206 Providence set with this Arndt Broad Leaf. I think it's complete with Piedmont, SC350/25, SC350/30, Sovereign, AB350, Cycle, BL.
