Yup, I wasn't counting blank. Still not sure if I consider that necessary for a completed back run.

Out of curiosity, does anyone have a good handle on the population of blank-backed T205s - where would the blank back fall on the scarcity list? I assume fewer than Broadleaf, but not sure compared to Drum/Hindu?

ETA - Steve, I take it from your list that Blank is the most rare?

From what im told & have seen blank is the most rare. Drum is supposed to be the the next most rare, but in 4 years im collecting t205's i have seen 10-12 durms for sale but only 1 hindu.

Im no expert though, plenty of guys here can debate that, im missing both in my collection still, along with the blank and the black broadleaf.

I agree that the Hindu seems to be quite a bit more difficult than Drum, at least in terms of what has come up for sale in the last couple years. There is a Hindu right now at REA, that's the first one I can remember seeing for sale.
