T216s, how do they stack up with their E card counterparts?

Where does the Crofts Blue stand in the tough to find scale?

Ed, in my opinion the blue crofts toughness is highly variable depending on the player. A couple years ago I tried to track down proof that all cards on the checklist exist. I still have 11 cards I have not been able to find an image for or any record of one being sold. I'm not saying those cards do not exist, just that I could not find any proof of them. Others, like Jennings, seem fairly abundant. In general, the blue backs are harder than black, but not quite as difficult as Cocoa, Nadja, or E105.

Here's a link to a thread I created a few years ago to track most of the harder e92. E92 Difficult Backs

What a great thread! Jobu, thanks for turning me onto it. The knowledge on this Board is amazing. Ed, thanks for starting the thread. Steve, this info on the T216 backs is awesome and now convinces me that a Wagner throwing VE exists (or was at least produced) and that I need multiple Kotton backs for a complete run. Pete, the lists of "E92" backs by player is very helpful. Val, that Jennings run is amazing.

For the past few months I have been aiming at a Wagner throwing back run (glutton for punishment; next I think I may work on an E94 Wagner color run) It started with a Blue Crofts, than a Cocoa, and once I picked up the E106, I thought I may have a chance. I have tried to keep it on the down low, but now I need the most difficult ones and I will take all the help I can get, so cat is out of the bag. Below is my Wagner throwing back run so far (could not include the T216 fronts bc exceeded my limit) -- please let me know if anyone knows where I can get one not shown below.

And while we are at it -- lets so those E92 back runs

Amazing Ryan!!!.....Jerry

Not too shabby, Ryan!

That is such an amazing back run. Thanks for posting it!

That's just awesome, Ryan. I've been wanting to see a "group shot" of all your recent Wagner pickups and that does the trick.
