T205 Back question-Sweet Caporal Black
 

Are all players found with the black Sweet Caporal back? Is each player found with only one factory back or can players have both 25 and 42?

The list I have (from the old T205 Resource site, currently inactive) shows 55 subjects that are known in BOTH factory 25 and factory 42. There were also 4 subjects that were either only known in factory 25 or factory 42. No other T205 subjects (as of 7 years ago) beyond these 59 were known with the Sweet Caporal Black backs. Because of the pattern seen in the 55, it is likely that the 4 others will eventually be (if not already) confirmed with both factory numbers.

Edit: Lists below updated due to LaPorte and Lush factory 25 cards shown in post #5, and Hummel factory #42 shown in post #7. So the list for Sweet Caporal Black confirmed in both factories is now 58, with just Wheat only known with one factory.

Seeing your website and focus on Harry Wolter, these are the T205 backs that are known for him:


American Beauty black

Broadleaf black

Cycle

Drum

Hassan factory 30

Hassan factory 649

Honest Long Cut

Piedmont factory 25

Polar Bear

Sovereign

Sweet Caporal red

I appreciate that. I was also afraid of that. I'm down to only needing two and the Drum is out of my price range if one were to come up.

I've got both LaPorte and Lush with black Sweet Caporal factory 25 backs.

Thanks for the updates. I have adjusted the lists on the original post with this info.

Here's the Hummel Factory 42

Thanks Pat...as I suspected these other factory cards were out there. Now we just need the factory 25 of Wheat and the whole world of T205's will make sense, and humankind can once again rest in peace with really comfortable pajamas on.

Here is a link to the master list I keep. There may be a couple to update but it would be in the BL column of cards possible.
