Why do you collect backs?

[Thromdog]

I need to update the collage and find an alternative to photobucket.....Always found EPDGs to be interesting. Sitting on 222 unique ones at this point.

To me a card is a 90/10 or 50/50.

A red Cobb I care 90% about the front. A Maddox EPDG I care 90% about the back.

But then there's a few that split like a Magee portrait Hindu. I love the front and the back about the same.....they are both important.

Hey Jeff, how many more EPDGs do you need for the complete set?

I was incorrect that I have 221, not 222. The known list according to Ted and the t206resource is 284 but I think it's actually 281. Pastorius, Hunky Shaw, and Ed Willetts no "S" are in their list but there are no records of one being sold or graded.

I don't think this is like a Drum or Uzit situation where an unknown one will show up, I just don't think they exist.

So I think I need 60 to get there but I've already surpassed my goal of 200. Not sure I will complete or not.

Good luck.

Hey Jeff, I say go for a complete set. Looks like you picked up 3 or 4 more since your last post about the set. I've gotten 3 more since then also. I'm now at an even 100 EPDG's. Took a while to get the first 100. Hopefully the second 100 is a bit quicker. Good luck on your EPDG journey and I look forward to when we are both within single digits of a complete subset.

All the big ones! Haha....trying to stick to a budget, so focus has been on commons for the most part. If I see a HOFer at a good price or in a lot, that's a bonus.

For me I am looking to have 1 of each cigarette/cigar brand as a type collection. I don't care who is on the front of the card, the factory #/variation, color of the ad or what sport/non sport set it is from.

If we are talking T206s I have 6 different cigarette brand backs so far.

I've wondered about the Shaw also. I'd love to see one.
