What is the best looking T206 back?
I know there a many different backs, 16 and then many different variations of certain backs. Collecting these backs can be a chase for the rare/variation of a back due to its monetary value.
I don't collect backs for investment or rarity but rather for cosmetic reasons. So instead of asking what backs you are hunting, I want to ask rather what back or backs are the nicest looking to you, or backs that you collect for rarity "and" for looks. For me so far I gravitate toward Polar Bear, Cycle, Lenox and American Beauty. What are yours? |
My top 5 favorites regardless of price are:
1.) Polar Bear 2.) Red Hindu 3.) American Beauty (w/ Frame) 4.) Carolina Brights 5.) Sovereign |
I dont own any but im partial to the Brown Old Mill Scraps.
|
1 Sovereign
2 American Beauty no frame 3 Carolina Brights 4 Uzit 5 Lenox |
1 American Beauty (With Frame)
2 Sov (Deep green) 3 Carolina Brights 4 Piedmont 350-460 (I think it is elegant) 5 Uzit (Different color, nice to mix it up) |
1) Polar Bear
2) Carolina Brights 3) Sovereign 4) Brown Hindu 5) EPDG |
Uh... Drum
|
1- Hindu Red
2- Hindu Brown 3- American Beauty 350 (frame) 4- Polar Bear 5- Carolina Brights If you count related issues, I would vote for Pirate cigarettes, which features a picture of a Pirate. I wish the T206 backs featured a picture of a Drum, a Polar Bear, a Sovereign, or (especially) an American Beauty. |
Do ghosts count?
My favorite is a bold Red Hindu |
Everybody picks the rare backs. If Piedmonts and SC's were the rare backs would they move up on the list? I am brand new to this and at first I thought the Piedmonts were awesome! Now that I'm used to them and pretty much only own Piedmonts I too think other backs look better, it's just because I never see them.

My top 6 backs
1) Polar Bear
2) Piedmont 3) Carolina Brights 4) Old Mill Southern League 5) Cycle 6) Sovereign |

I've always been partial to the Polar Bear cards because of the fully colored back. My second favorite are Carolina Brights....just a lot going on there. My dream back would by the Ty Cobb back. I'll just have to look at that one online though. :)
|
1. Polar Bear
2. Carolina Brights 3. meh...everything else |
I like a clean, well-centered Polar Bear back with sharp corners. I haven't seen a lot without any tobacco staining at all, but there's something aesthetically pleasing to me. It's unique in the set having the blue background. I like the typography used, and the alternation between all capital letters, and standard printing. I like it because it stands out. It's bold.

Jeff, this card is 100% wow! My favorite portrait in the set with my all-time favorite back. Plus the registration is spot on...slow clap. Very jealous.
|
jeff...don't you also have the chase black cap w/red hindu that used to be mine? IT seems red hindu's tend to exhibit better registration and more vivid colors than some other backs?
|
I'm not a big fan of the Polar Bear because it's all black. If it was a bright color, I'd probably like it more.
My faves in no particular order are: Sweet Caporal (it's clean & classic and the red looks sharp. It is the Standard for Years) Sovereign Green Apple American Beauty w/ frame Hindu EPDG I like frames and straight lines it seems... |

I was always partial to Polar Bear. The solid dark blue background just has a lot of eye appeal.
