Virginia Extra<BR> Doyle<BR> thin stock- type 2<BR><BR>So far I have seen the "Kotten Extra Mild" and the "Kotten 1,2,3," and the Mino's with "only" thick stock. To the contrary I have "only" seen the other backs on thin stock, be only on thin stock <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> These are very preliminary findings and most likely a board member will have seen other varieties. I think we covered this before and this was still the case....best regards<BR>

Posted By: <b>Brian C</b><p>I have a T216 Honus Wagner; throwing pose; identifies him as a second baseman; thicker variety; Kotton back that (if I remember correctly, I'll have to double check) says "Never Go Out"

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>They all say "Never Go Out" (except the 1,2,3,variety) ..the ones that say "Extra Mild" are more common, imo......and are on the thick stock and less scarce than the ones that don't say "Extra Mild" and are on thin stock....later
