I'll second what Mik'e saying. Over the span of about 7 years I put together a back run of a player with a similar back selection on two different occassions. The Hindu was in a league of it's own for difficulty, but after that it was the Old Mill that proved to be the most difficult to find. The EPDG was probably third, followed by the P350.

Anyway, it sounds like you're off to a great start. Enjoy the rest!

And props to Kawika. You're a class act.

Regards,

Richard.

Wazoo, great idea. I can tell you from my own experience that after I "completed" the set I did a back run. It took me five years , but it was the most fun I've had with this set.

It sounds like you made a good choice with Schlei. There is no killer back ( Uzit, Drum, BL460), you have the toughest already, and because the player is a common the rest, when you find them, shouldn't be too expensive.

So good luck and let us know how you are progressing.

Hey Waz, one more thing. When you check for all backs on T206Resource, for some reason they don't include Blank backs. You have to check the Blank back checklist separately.

As it turns out, there is a Schlei blank back out there somewhere.
Sorry, but your back run is going to be more difficult than you thought. I hope you still go ahead with it. -Sean

Ah man!! What a morale buster. Hey Wazoo - you can always skin a rough Piedmont and get your blank back that way.

Well that just makes the challenge a tad bit harder. I'm going to need to start selling more lemonade for one of those haha. Maybe one day. For now though, my main priorities will remain with the backs I listed. I really appreciate all the advice guys!
