Default T206 On Player, All Backs
Posted By: Lee Behrens

I was curious if anyone had all the possible backs with a certain player? I know the 150 series is the easiest but those HINDUs are a pain in the rear. I have tried getting as many Duffy's and Crandall with cap but I am stuck at 7 each for them.

Anyone have any better success?

Why did you select Duffy and Crandall (w/cap) ?

Both these cards are in the 460-only Series which limits you to acquiring
them in a large variety of backs. I would think to get a player with the
with the most possible # of backs you would select players who fall in the
150/350 Series or 350/460 Series category.

I recall hearing about a Green Cobb that was a "rebacked" Drum. Does anyone know anyone that has a Drum Cobb and what the front is?

In addition to Brian E's impressive list....Drum, EPG, Hindu, and Tolstoi
are possible for the Red Cobb.

I have never seen or know of any Cobb with a DRUM back. But, a Red one
and a Bat off Shoulder Cobbs are possible candidates.

A Green or a Bat on Shoulder Cobb with a DRUM back is impossible.

There are several other threads where peoeple have voiced their opinion on the Cobb backed Cobb variation and whether it is a T206.

Are there any other collectors out there that focus on different backs for specific players such as what Lee and I are doing?

I went with the Crandall a& Duffy because I got afew cheap and figured why not try. I am trying to get the 6 George Browne, Chicago cards I have yet to see an EPDG back though.

It would be interesting to see if any of the readers can help to confirm any of Art's missing Willetts
