Here's my suggestion. For right now ignore the subjects (e.g. 150, 350, 460) and concentrate on the back brands for common players.
You should find the following very easily:
Piedmont
Sweet Cap
Sovereign
Polar Bear
Old Mill
Then move onto the next group ... expect to pay 1.5 to 2x the common price:
- American Beauty
- Cycle
- EPDG
- Tolstoi
If you've gotten this far -- you now have 9 of the 15 regular issued backs. Forget about the 'Ty Cobb' unless you've got 5 digits to spend (it's debatable whether its a T206 anyway).
Ok now for the tougher stuff
Hindu, Carolina Brights and Broadleaf are not too tough yet ... and for a couple hundred bucks a piece you can pick up reasonable examples. even $100 can probably get you a real beater.
Lenox is significantly scarce
Uzit even more so
and Drum the most.
However, if you're willing to accept trimmed cards or true beaters even a Drum will cost you less than $1000.... and Lenox significantly less.
Happy hunting and let me know if you need help along the way !
Regards,
Scott
