rarest backs

[x2drich2000]

Have to agree with Pete on the E97, difficult but not rare, especially compared to others on the list. In order for it to make this list I would expect to see an example, regardless of player, to come up for sale 2-3 times a year at most (not counting the same card being sold more than once). If I counted correctly there are at least 15 of the e97s on ebay right now and I know a board member has sold a few more earlier this year.

Ask and you shall receive...http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...proof&_sacat=0

Plus 2 on ebay that recently sold (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...p2045573.m1684)

Plus 2 more in the recent REA (http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/...tledescription)

Another listed in h& S (http://www.hugginsandscott.com/cgi-b...l?itemid=95142)

And 2 more in clean sweep (http://www.cleansweepauctions.com/listview.cgi - search for e97s)

So I count over 20 now that are either currently for sale or recently sold in the past couple months and I've barely started looking.

The point of this thread is not to find a particular player with a specific back, but rather to list rare backs regardless of who the player is on the front.

and just to get a little more back on topic. Here are my 2 red crofts

I think the E121 Gertenrich cards are borderline for inclusion on this because of a large individual listing of about 30(?) on ebay about 15 years ago, each with some paper loss on the back. I imagine there were enough other examples before this find to possibly exclude it from the list. Possibly Rhett would be a good source for all the E121 backs currently on/not on your list.
