I have a complete set, less the Lewis No Emblem, It became a passion after finishing my first T206 set. Some of the cards almost appear mystical, but the back variations of the Broadleaf class are quite interesting to some collectors.

Here are a few.img3496.jpg

Great stuff as always, Bill!

Mike, Thanks, when I posted this I thought it was a live thread, but then later learned it was an old one reignited.img3714.jpg

I love the use of "maskman" on the back of the card.

This is a very enjoyable thread. kmac32's frame display is very nice. Tao Moko's Saier was terrific to see. It was good to see all of the shown cards. I can remember when this issue was "shunned" by many collectors because they were considered just too unattractive. This thread shows that stance to be just short sighted.

Wow, that Mogridge is awesome and rare.

Hey Dennis - glad to know there's yet another collector that appreciates T207's. As a number of us have said before, it really is a love/hate thing with the set - a number of Net54 members are definite fans, some more diehard than others (most would say I'm in the latter group).

Thanks for the Chicago show, and I agree with Bill - Mogridge is a one tough character.

Here is the toughest card in the set in both versions.

That'd be a nice subset, Ken! Something along the lines of 32 cards for all (known) front/back combos, including only 4 W. Millers and 4 Saiers I read somewhere as well that W. Miller is rumored to exist with the Red Cross back, though I don't recall ever having seen an image. One minor plus, though, is that none of the Recruits are known with the Anonymous (Fac 3) back ...

Great accomplishment on finishing the subset - those two toughies are among the hardest.
