Answer for Lee
Hi Lee,
The "No-Ad" backs are the ones you are describing, and they are a real challenge. I can't confirm that they exist for all 50 of the first series cards, (NOTE: McIntyre-Brooklyn will only be found with 1-75 checklist, the McIntyre-Brooklyn/Chicago will be found with all three 1st series back variations) however I have 42 of the 50 of the "No-Ad"s and have no reason to believe the other 8 don't exist. My quest for these 8 continues.
In the second series, there is a chance of finding a Paskert-Cin with a Turkey Red back as well as a Rhoades with a Turkey Red back, but as the years go by, I find it doubtful.
All other front/back combinations have been confirmed.
In terms of my next collecting goal - not sure. I've been working on a few sets on and off (I've been a bit pre-occupied with this whole T3 thing), but nothing too exotic. I'll probably continue to buy T3s, build another set, upgrade my current set, etc. A nice mid-grade raw set appeals to me as they seem to lose just a tiny bit of something once entombed. It's cool to hold them and inspect them closely while raw - they smell cool too.
Hope that answers your questions and I would again refer you to my website where a bit more detail on the backs can be found.
Best,
Craig
