Subject Front/Back Combo Completions

[Abravefan11]

I have been collecting T206 Boston National front/back combos for quite a while now. I've completed a few but my latest is Charlie Starr. This particular subject back run is special to me as so many of my good hobby friends played a part in me completing it. Jim Rivera, Craig Wright, Art Martineau and King Yao. Lee Behrens and Mr. McKenzie get mentions for assists.

Starr is a difficult subject to find with any back other than Piedmont 350 and Sweet Caporal. I was really happy to be able to complete this group with the help of so many good people. Thanks to Chris Browne for putting together the front/back image.

Sweeeeet! Great accomplishment, Tim!

Amazing what the people of Net54 can do for each other

I love the way Chris sets these up...he's the dude!

[White Borders]

Congratulations Tim - It's especially kewl in that it has the ABCD 350 series run!

Best regards and happy collecting

WOW

CONGRATS!!

this is amazing

[DerekMichael]

That is so cool. It is funny how the different brands of tobacco result in different shades of blue in the background, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

I love the way you guys display these front/ back runs. It works perfectly.

Congrats. That is some seriously cool stuff.

[Sean]

Tim, that's a really excellent back run. Congratulations.

Nice back Run. Posts like this have inspired me to attempt a back run of Chief Myers Fielding cards. I currently have 6 backs . Carolina Brights,EPDG,Old Mill, Pied, SC. ant T213. I would graeatly appreciate any help from other Board Members to add more backs of this card to my run. Please contact me if you have any. Thanks to Everyone for sharing photos of thier collection on this site. I really enjoy seeing the different ways everyone collects.

Always liked that pose. Great run sir!

[Abravefan11]

I'd love to see some other front/back runs. They don't have to be T206 but can be. Please post them if you want to share.

Mattern is another Boston Nat'l subject that wasn't printed with a lot of backs. He was one of 16 of the 200 print group 2 subjects omitted from the ABCD printing.

Hey Tim... Congrats on the back run... Im still working on my seymour double back run... But I finally made some progress last week... Big thanks to Jantz for getting me the second SC 350 fact 25.. was looking for over a year for that card... heres an updated pic of the run.

Just need the blank back, red hindu, and drum to complete the 1st run. Need those 3 plus the lenox and broadleaf for the second run.

[mrvster]

TIM- Mattern proof!!!

Jamie,
those seymour runs always great to see....btw, 2 yellow / brown 460 fact 30's??!!!

Impressive cardboard here

[atx840]

Amazing run Jamie, I'm thinking 2013 is the year you will add a new one.

[Jantz]

Nice displays everyone!

Jamie - Glad I could help.

these back runs are seriously mind blowing ... thanks for sharing this stuff everyone

[g_vezina_c55]

Congrat !!

[atx840]

Glad you picked the Red Cross up Tim.

[atx840]

Tim you did get it you sly dog. Congrats!!

[Abravefan11]

Thanks Chris. It was a recent addition.

Jim-That's my only blank-back. I've never made owning one a priority, but things lined up right and a hobby friend was again a big help in adding another tough card to my collection.

[cfc1909]

they are special Tim and technically the Mattern proof is blank backed.

so 1 blank back and 1 proof. I have never owned a proof. That Boston collection you have gathered over the years is amazing, thanks for sharing.

I guess if the Baltimore proof ever shows up I better take out a second mortgage.


edit to ad, I really love the cut on the Beck, clearly showing it is not a factory cut

[mrvster]

I LOVE THE BB BECK!!!

HOLY COW! Now thats a card to own!! I love the fat, hand cut borders....BBs are way undervalued right now

What a card! congrats my bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BBT206]

Just made a trade to obtain my last Doyle Throwing.

Great run of Matty's Brian.

[Mikehealer]

Here are the few T206 Evers yellow sky that I have left.

I dig that Broad Leaf a ton. I do not actually recall seeing another, but I could easily be wrong. What a cool run.

I cannot get over how cool this thread is!

[atx840]

Very nice BL for sure.

[DixieBaseball]

Complete Texas Leaguer 20 card run of Orange Border Errors from the T210 Series 3 :

[Piratedogcardshows]

Jeremy that scan is just stunning.I hope to join you one day.Great looking cards.

[cfc1909]

Jason

I hope you get there too but the asking price for the 2 on ebay wont help you any. I only have one, the Thebo and got it for less than 100 on a straight ebay auction.

If the series 3 cards are 100 or 200 dollar cards the orange version should probably be double or at best triple. I could see 3 or 400 but not 600 or 1000.

good luck and glad I only needed one.

nice orange set Jeremy

Yes the 2 on Ebay are a little too expensive for me.Luckily I have a Johnston already and the Slaven seems to be one of the more available OB's so I'm sure another will come up.It will be slow going but a fun chase.

[atx840]

Ditto.....but it sure is fun.

Based on your sig you have enough going on

[cdn_collector]

This has been a most impressive thread. I'm amazed at the number of back runs completed, in progress, etc, and love to see the variety of players covered. Huge props to everyone that's shared.

Six or seven years ago I started a Gibson back run, got to 9 different and became frustrated when I couldn't even confirm a Hindu. I ended up selling that collection, and it was completed by Mike Frohme (See post #32). I was as excited for him when he did it as I would have been if it was me.

Over the past year and a bit I've re-acquired some of my original T206 Gibsons, and even had a chance to buy a Hindu...so as of last week that complete T206 Gibson run resides in my collection. I'm now working a bit past the basic run to try and add some freaks, and a couple of (super tough) non-T206s that share the same image.

So for anyone that's interested, check out this gallery I setup on CF over the weekend. I've probably accounted for 100 hits to this page just since Saturday....

Again, great collections everyone!

[atx840]

That Gibson run is a beauty, congrats on picking it back up and finishing it!

[cfc1909]

[DerekMichael]

Man that is cool! So, besides Broad Leaf and American Beauty, which other tobacco brands do you have with the Baltimore crew? I am pretty sure there are not many people who have runs of Baltimore like yours. Too cool Mr. Rivera. Thank you for sharing.

This is one of the coolest threads I have seen thus far.
