T206 Master Back type set - how many do you have?

[brianp-beme]

Hi David,

I am approaching this as from the angle of a super master set...having an example of each back from each printing run, thus the parenthetical amounts I have included in the breakdown.

Thanks for the Hindu Texas League option...the breakdown I used from Scot's list didn't indicate the third back. So now there are 113 different.

I think blank back has to have a home somewhere, even if it's on it's own. Just going through this in my head and this would be a pricey set.

39 different. Missing only blue Old Mill

Real nice display, Jim

And, I will round out the number of backs to 40............

Jim...tough to top your collection of T206 backs. Of course, in a T206 Master Back type set, you would have to add examples of each back from each print run. For example in the Piedmont 350 back Master set you would have to have one Piedmont 350 back from one of the 144 subjects in the 150/350 print group, one P350 back from the 208 subjects in the 350 Only print group, one P350 back from the 6 subjects of the 350/460 Super print group, and one P350 back from the 55 subjects of the 350/460 print group.

Of course extrapolated out with all the different backs this takes things to the extreme...but isn't that one of the definitions of 'collector'?

...and there was a time when I thought obsessing on factory numbers was extreme.
