To start a t206 player back run?

[wazoo]

Hey all,
Hope everything is well . So I was looking at my collection today, and realized I have two t206 Admiral Schlei cards. One with a Hindu back, and another with a Sweet Caporal back. It just hit me that, hmmm, maybe a back run for the Admiral Schlei card (catching) wouldn't be too hard to complete. Looking at the possible/confirmed lists for backs, I see nothing too crazy. I believe I already have the hardest one to obtain, the Hindu.

Here's what is left:

• El Principe De Gales
• Old Mill
• Piedmont 150
• Piedmont 350
• Sovereign 150
• Sovereign 350 (Dark Green) (Not confirmed)
• Sweet Caporal 150, Factory 25
• Sweet Caporal 150, Factory 649
• Sweet Caporal 350, Factory 25 (Not confirmed)
• Sweet Caporal 350, Factory 30

What do you guys think? I think it'll be a lot of fun I won't make it my priority, because I have many other goals that I would like to complete before. But if I see a card as I go along here and there, I think it'd be pretty enjoyable. I would like to hear everyone's comments!

Here are the scans:



If anyone has any of these cards, I'd like to see if we can work a deal. Thank you.


Lastly, has anyone noticed how much darker the name is on the Hindu card compared to the Sweet Caporal card?

As a collector it's always fun to have stuff to look for that we "need". I think you will have fun so why not Wazoo? Good luck if you decide to go this route.

[wazoo]

Sounds good to me Leon! I won't make it my priority, but I can work on it slowly and make it last Should be a lot of fun!

Nice Waz...runs are great to keep things interesting when your primary collecting goals are quiet.

Waz,

I think it's a great idea, and that is a great pose also.

Cheers,

I really like the colors! It should be a blast

[jp1216]

Always a good idea to start with the 'tough' ones and work down. That Hindu is a great start!

[wonkaticket]

Agree one of the more fun and colorful poses in the set.

[wazoo]

Yes I think it's going to be difficult to find an El Principe De Gales one though.

And beautiful card John. I love the overprint and grade!

[atx840]

Nice! Thanks for sharing Waz.

[wazoo]

Proud of my new addition, Piedmont.

Great work Waz! The Hindu and El Principe are ones you do not see everyday, huh?

Awesome project. What will you move onto after completing this run? Any big plans, or still undecided.

Very nice youngster!

Thank you! The Old Mill and the blank back are going to be hard. For now I'm just going to keep working on my t206 set and see what else I can add

You've got great taste, Joshua. I just picked up one of the factory 649 overprints. The card is striking to say the least. I love the background colors.

Good luck knocking off those last two.

Great stuff Waz!!

Wait... Vermont?
I cannot help you immediately with your back run as I only collect HOF T206 but my ears perk up when I hear my home state reference.
I am actually in Vermont this week again...3000 miles from where I call home now but I lived in / near Rutland 70% of my life.
Waz... What town?

[wazoo]

Not to revive a 5 year old thread, but just wanted to thank everyone, especially David (for some reason I cannot send a PM) for helping me grow my Schlei back run. Was pumped to add the Schlei Sov 150 today. Just missing the Sweet Cap 350 Factory 25...cannot wait to finish the final product. I'm not counting the blank back at this time...

Way to go Wazoo. You'll get that Sweet Cap one of these days.
