What is the best looking T206 back?

[marvymelvin]

I know there a many different backs, 16 and then many different variations of certain backs. Collecting these backs can be a chase for the rare/variation of a back due to its monetary value.

I don't collect backs for investment or rarity but rather for cosmetic reasons. So instead of asking what backs you are hunting, I want to ask rather what back or backs are the nicest looking to you, or backs that you collect for rarity "and" for looks.

For me so far I gravitate toward Polar Bear, Cycle, Lenox and American Beauty.

What are yours?

My top 5 favorites regardless of price are:

1.) Polar Bear
2.) Red Hindu
3.) American Beauty (w/ Frame)
4.) Carolina Brights
5.) Sovereign

Everybody picks the rare backs. If Piedmonts and SC's were the rare backs would they move up on the list? I am brand new to this and at first I thought the Piedmonts were awesome! Now that I'm used to them and pretty much only own Piedmonts I too think other backs look better, it's just because I never see them.

Absolutely...people are predictble

I've always liked...in no particular order:

Cycle
Polar bear
Carolina Brights
Broad leaf

Backs that are not that appealing:

Tolstoi
Blank back (although cool, it's literally nothing but open space)
Hindu (overrated IMO)

Agree!

[Fred]

The Cobb back is neat but I like the Carolina Brights.

[sycks22]

I'm on board with Carolina Brights. Love the look

[The Nasty Nati]

Jeff, this card is 100% wow! My favorite portrait in the set with my all-time favorite back. Plus the registration is spot on...slow clap. Very jealous.

[ethicsprof]

Your beauties above are in the running.
all the best,
Barry

Bravo, Jeff, bravo! Those are mind blowing!

I like a clean, well-centered Polar Bear back with sharp corners. I haven't seen a lot without any tobacco staining at all, but there's something aesthetically pleasing to me. It's unique in the set having the blue background. I like the typography used, and the alternation between all capital letters, and standard printing. I like it because it stands out. It's bold.

[atx840]

Keep them coming.

[freakhappy]

Piedmont 42? Let's hear it, Chris???

I'll give you a pass if you are just showing off your collection
