Default The extreme collector

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.

Hey Jim, that's really amazing. I'm sure you've posted these before, but I don't recall seeing them. Can you post the fronts?

Of the 40 I have 31. Missing most of the usual missing ones.

I'd have to check the different runs to see on the 118? or whatever it is. I'm probably pretty close.

way back I'd been trying for one of each brand.

When I started paying attention to factory numbers just after I joined here I was surprised to find I didn't have a 649 overprint.

I'm not expecting to add any more anytime soon. Only one of the ones I need is realistically within reach.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Default Master Set

Jim that is a fantastic run.

Wether you consider the full master set at 39 (including Cobb back) or at 38 (up to Brown Old Mill) the number of complete sets can only be around 13 or so based on the number of confirmed Ty Cobb backs and Brown Old Mill backs. I believe both of these backs stand at around 13 confirmed examples. There's always a chance some additional examples will show up, but only time will tell.

I'm almost complete with the 38 count back run. I'm only missing about 5 of the easiest backs to complete. I just haven't found examples yet that also have a front pose that I like.

I would love to add a Cobb back, but that will never happen unless I hit the lottery.

Jerry
