The 3 rarest T206 backs, besides the Ty Cobb back, which is exclusive to the Georgia Peach himself, I thought were:

1. Brown Old Mill
2. Lennox Brown
3. Drum
3a. Broad Leaf 460 subjects

I don't remember an Old Mill blue being confirmed. Did I miss something?

What about Billikens with a La Moda back? Bilikens with common backs are pretty scarce themselves, but those with La Moda backs probably comprise a very small fraction of the known population -- significantly less than 10% I would guesstimate.

Bill, it was slightly before your time.

I hate to be a pest, but using your criteria from post #32, you should delete m101-4 Everybody's too, as more than 50 examples exist. Also, I am among those who have yet to acknowledge Haserot's as a true back variation, FWIW.

As for Gertenrich, I'll leave the populations for others to report, but I too have a Walker SGC 40 that has no back damage. If you are declaring it scarce only when it has no back damage, then you'd better re-add Holmes to Homes as well, for although the pop reports show 70 graded, only nine of those are better than poor.

That's not being a pest at all; this is the feedback I want. I don't care about condition, so Holmes to Homes stays off the list. Is your objection to Haserot's just that it's a stamp (which I'm okay with) as opposed to all the other tough M101-4/5 backs, or that you suspect the stamp wasn't added until many years after the card was issued?

Good question. I think I'll go with "no comment".

First, I'm pleasantly surprised to see the R316 Douglas Park cards on this list, since I own a couple of them. But they really are just a stamp on the back on a regular card. How are they different from the T206 with the Howe McCormack stamp or the F stamp? If I stamp "Dave" on the back of a card, is it now on the rare back list? I think that I would only call it a "back" if it was printed on and not stamped (although how would you tell the difference sometimes?)

M131?

I am also pretty sure that there are more than 50 virginia extra examples out there.

Depends on what you mean by confirmed I guess. It's good enough for SGC anyway.
