Thanks again.
Hey Randy,

Ron covered the gist, and alluded to other detailed articles. I can provide a little color (pun intended). If you've gone through the various T207 threads on the forum and the T207 overview (and linked threads) in the Archive Center, you've got a great start. IMO, the population bible on the set is Tim N's multi-year survey, documented in VCBC #'s 37 and 38 with relative population breakdowns by back, amongst other things. His survey wrapped up in 2004 but is still accurate as things go, and while - nearly 20 years on - there are additional aspects to his survey that could be improved upon, it stands on its own as an excellent piece of work. Bob M has a companion article in issue 37, I recall. The combination of those articles is responsible for my obsession with the set.

I've been collecting/studying it since 2006, but my recordkeeping and attention to detail isn't so great, or I'd have more detailed info to share... only specific correction I'd make to Ron's answer is that the Napoleon back confirmation thread has reached 145 confirmed backs, so is nearly complete.
