I agree w/Scotts segmenting of the backs into groups. You should be able to accomplish your goal of 9-10 backs in vg for about $500 in my estimation...maybe less if you buy raw...good luck...my original goal in type collecting was to get all of the t206 backs which I began in the early nineties. I had all of the backs up to Drum...minus a uzit. I tried to also get all variations of each back as well. I passed on $2-300 uzit Hofers...BL 460's for $300...I wasn't willing to spend the cash! I got lucky and bought a drum in g for $30 at a show in silver spring, md in 93' or so...along with a few red hindu's for $100 apiece...another for $250 at a card shop in Cleveland, OH while interviewing for dental school...where I got my E97 B/W Nichols as well...great shop! IT's not cheap if you want them all! I've sold many over the years...my drum to buy a chair...all red hindu's but 1...and that's where I stand now. I need Uzit, Drum, Bl 460...for the set...probably will not happen...because I refuse to spend the cash!!!
