What's your favorite T206 back?

Why is the old mill slabbed backward?

Because more emphasis is placed on the extreme rarity of the back such as the case in John's example. I've seen one other Drum back reversed that way as well.

A few years ago I asked SGC to slab my back set backwards, I'm sure I wasn't the first but not many folks were doing it at the time...I kind of like it.

P.S. Alex When us "old" guys die you'll have to pay to have flipped around one day.

Hahaha hopefully that is not for many years. That is a really cool idea. Glad that SGC was so accommodating. Do you have a photo of all the backs?

I know that's another discussion.......

I'd put Carolina Bights, Polar Bear and Broad Leaf at the top of my list.

Great cards everyone. Incredible Ty Cobb back Jim!!

Thanks for sharing, John. That is a very cool back run.

John, your attention to bold, crisp, centered backs is incredible. i appreciate that you collect the card, not the number on the holder. kudos.

FWIW, i actually do not like the flips on the backside, not my thing, but to each his own.

John, incredible back run. That's the first time I've seen them all together.

I love that Johnson/ Red Hindu. I thought that was that was the best card in last year's REA.

Thanks Sean I feel the same way about your amazing cards.

cycle or uzit for me. never really like the sweet caporal or the sovereign backs.
