Posted By: <b>TBob</b><p>on T207 for VCBC which would upgrade and add to Lew Lipset's excellent information in his Encyclopedia. For instance, there is a T207 Speaker on ebay now in which the seller claims is valuable because of the Anonymous back (it is a Factory No. 3). If you collect T207s you know (or should know) that there are 2 different Anonymous backs- Factory 3 from Virginia and Factory 25 from Virginia. All "rare back" T207s have either a Red Cross (impossible), Cycle, Broadleaf or Anonymous Factory 25 backs. This Speaker card is not a "rare back" card, as it was issued with a Recruit back (also Napoleon). The back doesn't make Speaker tough. The Anonyomus Factory 3 backs turn up (albeit not that often) on many of the common cards issued with Recruit backs. The "rare back" cards NEVER turn up with a Recruit back. The Speaker card, is however, for some strange reason, one of the "common back" cards which is very tough, along with Kling, Graham, McKechnie, and the Livinston variations. <BR>Clear as mud?
