Off backs
I started getting off backs in the early 1990s when I started collecting T206s. I picked up some EPDGs, Tolstoi, American Beauty, Old Mill, Sovereigns very early in my T206 collecting days. I made it to Carolina Brights by the time I finished grad school in 2000. Unfortunately, the poor college student couldn't muster anything more rare. Who knows if I will ever complete the back run.
Lately I have been focusing on Polar Bears (and the occasional Old Mill, Sovereign, etc.) with the goal of having the majority of my set be non-Piedmont and non-Sweet Cap backs. I think I am around 35-45% non-P/SC backs, but am only at 140 cards total in my set, so a lot of off backs yet to go!
