Wow, thanks for all the help! I have narrowed it down to the following selections:

First, my favorite card in the set is the Rube Marquard Portrait. If I had unlimited resources, this would be the way to go for me. I love the look of this card. From what I can tell, he has 7 confirmed backs, with 1 more a possibility.

The others that are on my list are all only there because I love the pose or portrait on the front of the card. I am an extremely aesthetic collector, and I would love to have one of these in as many backs as possible because they are a cool card to look at the FRONT of. Here are the finalists, and how many confirmed backs each has, as far as I have found:

Bell, hands above head (5)
Butler, Rochester (6)
Hunter, Brooklyn (7)
Joss, hands at chest (11)
Knight, portrait (8)
Rhodes, St. Louis (10)

Joss looks tough, and the fact that he's a HOF means it could really be expensive. Plus, if I am going after Rube, I might want to stay away from another expensive one...

What do you all think? Is there someone out there doing a run of any of these already? I want to stay away from someone else's run, if possible.

Any others out there worth chasing? I like the Chase (holding trophy), but I know others are already doing or have done his, right?

Again, thank you all for the info already. This is why I LOVE this site!
