What is your favorite back?
Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>I 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.<br><br>So I would be interested to put it to the Board:<br>What is your all-time favorite card back design amongst pre-war cards? and why? (design, scarcity, just cuz it's your card, etc)<br>Post pics if you got 'em!<br><br>I will cast the first vote with T206 Carolina Brights - (really like the card Ted, thanks for posting)

Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>I'll keep this G rated and rather Mello.... I have to say the Mello Mints are my favorite. I have yet to own one, but I have them to be rather ornate-like and aesthetic pleasing. After you stare at T206 backs all day/everyday, seeing the Mellos is awesome!<br><br>Jimi

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