butcher,

I forgot about the red cross. The red back I had a chance to buy few years back, but it was pretty beat up. So I guess I have more than 4 left. You have upset my wife though she was reading the thread with me and says great there goes our vacation money. Well I guess I will have to be real good for next xmas.

How many backs to the t225 are there?

[butcher354435]

Tell your wife i'm sorry! :-)

I consider there to be 10 different backs for the T225 issue but some collectors say there's 11, with the 11th being a blank back. I have never seen a blank back that wasn't hand cut which means they likely come from the advertising poster.

I will tell her don't know if it will help lol. Wow 11 thats great. I was a little sad cause I do love the hunt for a new card. Im sure you are the same the feeling when the new card comes in the mail and to hold it in your hand. Looks like I have a few more years of treasure hunting ahead of me. I only wonder if my boys will have the same pasion as I do with this sport.
