I was way off base on this one. I figured it would go in the $250 range. I couldn't believe the final price.

I sold a couple, so I am down to 1 Mino and 1 each of the 3 Kotton backs.

If I ever obtain a T216 Virginia Extra for my type-card collection, guess which player I'd like it to be.

I have been wondering about the three Kotton backs. Is it already known which of the three are the hardest backs to find, or are they already so hard to find, each of the three are equally difficult? Also, which of the three come in the "thin paper" variety? Last question, can the year be determined based on which of the three backs it is, like some of the t206s? Thanks for any input.

There is one thin variety, and it's by far the most difficult. It is the back that only says "Never Go Out" and doesn't have the additional wording "Extra Mild Not in a Trust" or the 1.2.3. statements. I am not sure about the other question.

I believe these are examples of the 3 Leon speaks of ... Barry has the extra words, Murphy has the 1. 2. 3., and Shean has no extra words.

Thanks, Leon. So that Ty Cobb of yours is also the thin variety, the "by far the most difficult?" I love that Cobb pose, regardless of the set. So, does anyone know if you can date the card based on the three backs? Which came first, second, third? I really like these cards, I think it is the thrill of the chase.
