Sadly, it's a regular black Cycle 460. I bet a blue one would fetch a pretty penny.

Thanks JimB, Jim R and Tim.

Jim B- Always enjoy seeing a part of your wonderful collection. Leon should make you post at least one of your caramel cards everyday.

Jim R- Great SLers, but those Baltimore BL's are something special. Great stuff.

Tim- Amazing Boston team set.

Brian W.- Your the tough back king and those Hindus are great, but I want to see that Evers Drum again!!!

Great thread.

Tim - Superb Thread idea and a awesome run you have going ! This thread is right in the sweet spot. Many great subsets on here....

Jim - You need to post more. Great SL run !

Rob M. - That Coupon Type 1 run is a lifetime in the making. Phenominal.

Ted & Brian - keep the scans coming... Some real toughies - Nice job !

Rob D. & Mike - I never get tired of seeing your endless supply chain of Lajoie's and Evers cards. (Mike - that is the first time I believe I have seen the whole lot of Evers in one scan, cleanly cropped, etc. -- I love that Scan.)

Geez Guys... I spent 15 minutes enjoying this thread, have to get back to work, but will return to see more eye candy this evening.

Thanks again for posting and this is why I collect.

This thread is inspiring. I think I might have to pursue one of these back variation sets.

You guys are waaaasy more knowledgable than me. If I was to go after a Brooklyn player with a lot of back combos, who would he be?

Thanks in advance.

Geordie,

You might find this tool useful:

You can enter any T206 player (along with other search terms) and get a result that lists all of the confirmed front-back combinations.

excellent - thanks much!

Quick research narrowed my future back collection to five players:

Burch fielding (18 confirmed backs), Jordan batting (18), McIntyre Bkln/Chi (16), Rucker throwing (19) and Wilhelm with bat (16)

I chose these because of a good variety of back possibilities and because I like the way the cards themselves look. Need to do some more research on how tough certain backs are, plus the affordability of the players themselves.

[tedzan]

Burch (fielding), Jordan (batting), and Wilhelm (with bat) will be tough to find with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and UZIT backs.

McIntyre (Bkln/Chi) and Rucker (throwing) will be tough to find with BROAD LEAF 460 and Red HINDU backs.


Good luck,

When I first started collecting T206s, my goal was to put a Cleveland team set together.

One of the first thing I noticed was that the majority of Easterly cards had a Piedmont 350 back. So whenever I found an Easterly with a back other than a Piedmont 350, I bought it.

So far I've got 6 Easterlys with different backs.

Piedmont 350
Sweet Caporal 350
Tolstoi
Polar Bear
Old Mill
EPDG

The Tolstoi is by far my favorite. I bought it on a whim, thinking that I would upgrade it in the future. That was 5 years ago and I've not seen another.

Wish I could post a front/back grouping like others have, but I'm not very computer suave.
