Default Most aesthetically pleasing T206 back design
I looked around and didn't see a poll on this and I'm very curious about it. What do you think is the most aesthetically pleasing T206 back design? Not most desirable or anything, just the design that looks best to you.

Since there's a limit to 10 options on the poll, I'm grouping a few that are very similar (while leaving off blank back and Ty Cobb backs, due to the debate around if they are included in T206 to begin with).

Edit: I left of Uzit, too, since there really aren't any design elements to that back.

Hands down Polar Bear, I don't think it gets more unique than that back followed by Red Hindu and UZIT. Such beautiful colors.

Polar Bear is great, and certainly stands out strongest amongst the other backs. But something really clicks with the Carolina Brights for me.

Definitely a beauty. By far the nicest frame amongst the backs IMO.

I think there is something special about the Old Mill southern league variation as well, it's nice seeing a "wordy" back.

Polar Bear is tops for T206. The Red Cycle T207 backs reigns supreme over all backs though and it’s not even close imo.

The Carolina Brights back is too busy for me. Polar Bear is different with the black background, but it's just not very good looking. The Hindu logo always reminds me of Heinz ketchup - so also not a favorite.

Okay, asked my wife, who doesn't know anything about the rarity of these things. She said (unprompted) that the Hindu back looks like the Heinz logo, so she doesn't like it.

Her top three:


Piedmont

Carolina Brights

Tolstoi


Fwiw, I agree with everybody here. My favorites are Polar Bear and Carolina Brights. Sweet Caps are the worst, I'll take the Heinz logo over those ones.

Wish I could have included each back as it's own poll option (frames, factories and so on), but polls are limited to 10. Sorry!

Maybe take the results of this poll and weed out the backs that don't get votes and make a new thread with 10 stand alone backs? I'm sure some people will hate me for suggesting another t206 thread on the main page

OR we could do a head-to-head seeded tourney, like March Madness, to see which back survives to the end. Then we could have an entry for each series, factory, etc., which I think brings the field to 39. Will Sweet Cap 350 Fac 25 defeat Sweet Cap 350 Fac 30, or will Fac 30 prevail?!

Now there are 30 options for polls but I reserve the right to go back to less if need be. You are welcome to start a different poll if you want to. This thread could potentially be locked. Whatever you want to do is fine. Interesting poll.

It's interesting how many different answers we get. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
