Ask a board member or T206 collector assembling a back run of a certain player. A lot of times the Sweet Caporal back is the last back they need to complete their player run.
Two things that you should focus on besides the backs are availability and opportunity.

I've run into that with the Nap Lajoie portrait. The difficult ones aren't the ones you expected and finding certain cards in better condition is very difficult. Is it me or are red portrait Ty Cobbs fairly common due to the fact he was in almost every set??
