Jim R - Nice work!!
Jim,
I think that this is the best (most accurate) listing of back types. I agree with everything that has been written with one significant exception. I do not believe that AB 460 is nearly as tough as you rank it. Back in the 1980s when my dad and I purchased significant lots (or even entire sets) of T206 cards and before people really cared much about backs, we would always find at least one (many times 2 or 3) AB 460 in the collection. While we would also find at least one hindu (usually more).... other cards like CB and certainly Broadleaf were not always part of the collection.
My opinion based solely on my personal collecting experience is that AB 460 should appear as rarer than Hindu but not as rare as CB.
Regards,
Scott
