Back Run Bonanza!

[brianp-beme]

I have shown these Cravath cards before, but I finally arranged them into a proper run format after an agonizingly ridiculous resizing of existing scans session.

I am calling this incompletely complete, missing just the near impossible (both availability and potential price, at least for me) Carolina Brights back. Three of them could use some upgrading, but it is likely that I will only go after an upgrade on the relatively common Sweet Caporal factory 30 card.

Still have the Uzit to go. Another one might show up some day since I dont think Ted is going to turn loose of his.

[ValKehl]

Way to go, Chris and others! I know all about long waits for back-run needs!

[MVSNYC]

Awesome thread. The only player run I'm working on is Hal Chase Blue Portrait. But, I think this'll be more interesting to post...All 38 different backs (sans Cobb)- all brands, series, factories, and color variations. I posted this recently in the Brown Old Mill thread (thanks again Ryan!), but thought it might be fun to repost it here...

[Rhotchkiss]

Mike, that is one awesome pic. It’s so cool to see all backs, including series and factories, in one place.

I know we disagree on this, but if you get bored or want to continue growing it, maybe you add t213, T214, and T215, down the line since they have same fronts as t206. And… a blue old mill

[MVSNYC]

Thanks so much, Ryan. That's means a lot coming from you. There's definitely room for upgrading condition (i.e. the BL 350, or Red Hindu, for example), and there's opportunities to upgrade some of the commons to HOFers.

Good idea, I'm certainly not opposed to that. Post some of yours! (T213, T214, and T215)

Matty Hindu run

[MVSNYC]

That's a helluva Matty Hindu run! Show more of your rare backs when you can.

My favorite T205 is Miller Huggins. I have included him in my Yankees collection. Huggins had a keen eye for talent. As Manager of
the Yankees (1918), he persuaded Col. Jacob Ruppert (Yankees owner) to acquire Babe Ruth from Boston in 1919.

The T205 Huggins is one of the few guys in the Exclusive 32 group that was printed with the PIEDMONT Factory #42 back.
The PIEDMONT Factory #42 back is very difficult to find on this Huggins card.

The DRUM back for Huggins has not yet been confirmed. However, since he was printed with the brown AMERICAN BEAUTY back, I
expect his DRUM card will eventually be discovered.

Furthermore, I also need a HASSAN Factory #30 to complete this run. If any of you have a HASSAN #30 Huggins for sale....please
email me..... tedzan11@comcast.net

The runs in this thread are breathtaking to me. So impressive and so aesthetically pleasing.

Apologies if this has been asked before, but are the red Cobb portrait and blue Chase portrait the cards with the most possible back combos? Based on TCDB, it looks like the red Cobb has 30 possible combos if you count the Ty Cobb back, 29 if you don’t count it. The blue Chase also has 29 possible combos. Evers with Chicago on shirt has 28 and the Matty dark cap has 26. So is 30 confirmed to be the most?

Well back in June I had picked up the Carolina Brights after a ten year gap and wildly enough was able to acquire two more in July/August.

Down to the T214 Victory, which there is one and it is sitting in THE best Chase collection out there, so for now I'm calling the run done.

[ullmandds]

epic run chris! i love the complete coupon type subset!

[fkm_bky]

Congrats Chris! That is an amazing accomplishment!

Bill

[MuncieNolePAZ]

Well done Chris!

[RCMcKenzie]

Great back run, Chris. I guess T215 1 and 2 and Pirate are unknown, but possible for Chase port?

[Leon]

Nice run there, Chris. Now for a Victory....

[Rhotchkiss]

Chris, congrats on an amazing back run. The don’t get tougher than a t206 super six, especially one with a BL 350 and 460. Incredible accomplishment

Very very cool.

I looked at the 3 t205 cobbs I have a they all have different backs. What’s the best way to go about finding what backs even exist for Cobb? Besides browsing auctions and just putting together a list that way.
