T212 Obaks

[brianp-beme]

Thanks for posting the great Obak article by Jeff (who I haven't heard from or about in years). It was published during the time frame when I was finishing up the Obak sets and was a wonderful source of knowledge, and gives some nice write-ups of some of the prominent players. I had forgotten about this article...I am going to print it out right now.

Jeff also wrote an article and then a follow-up article for VCBC concerning the 1910 slogans, listing what slogans could be found for each player in both the 150 and 175 series. The follow-up article added slogans from reader's input that were not listed in the original article. Another great couple of articles that should be a part of any Obak collector's arsenal.

Thank you very much for sharing. Loads of information there. I'm not sure who I'm gonna target out of that list. Some interesting player-background!

Half the fun is figuring out what to do. One possibility is the 1910 back slogan subset...I did this one and it was fun doing it but I no longer own it. There are a few tough backs.

I completed a 1910 set with all 35 backs. There aren't any real rarities other than a couple of players who are hoarded by family members.

From the hundreds (maybe a thousand) 1910 obaks I have seen and gone through, my experience was the "Just Right" back was seen less often. There were a few sets of backs sold in the last several years which each had one, but my sampling was they were far more scarce. Your mileage may vary though .
