I'm hardly an expert, but I did try the same thing with the backs for a few years. One of each brand, ignoring series etc. Fortunately I started a long time ago. Most of them are pretty easy and aren't much more expensive than the usual Sweet caporal or Piedmont. I'm still missing 2 or 3 (Is the Ty Cobb back still considered part of T206?) Drum and Uzit are really tough and pretty expensive. I've seen a couple drum backs, and couldn't afford them, even in really rough condition. Uzits are almost as tough, I actually have seen fewer, but I used to have Drum backs as a favorite search on Ebay and only looked for Uzits once in a while.
The card you've got is a nice start. My first T206 was a Beckley in very poor condition. Torn almost all the way through, and taped together. Of course it was only 20 cents, Which should give you a hint how long ago that was.
