Attention T206 experts - I need help

[hcv123]

I will start making my list and checking it twice. Don't mind one or two low 4 figure cards - need some special ones for the kids you know

[bbcard1]

I think it's doable. Probably a Carolina Brights will be the rarest back you will snag, but you should still have enough variation to get a different back for each Pirate. I sold a CB back Phillippe at auction and regret it.

Hi Howard

Here is the T206 list of Pittsburgh subjects. I listed them with respect to the Series these cards are in.
So that you know which backs that they were printed with. I'll post the various backs as a function of
the Series they were printed in, in my next post.

150 Series
Abbaticchio (brown sleeves)
Camnitz (arms folded)
Fred Clarke (portrait)
Fred Clarke (bat)
Gibson
Leach (portrait)
Leifield (pitching)
Wagner
Willis (portrait)

350-only Series
Abstein
Maddox
Miller
Phillippe
Wilson

350/460 Series
Leach (cap)
Leifield (batting)

460-only Series
Abbaticchio (blue sleeves)
Camnitz (arms over head)
Camnitz (arm at side)

Uzit goes for about 2k, Drum for about 5k. The other harder backs for around 1k or less. It sounds like you might be able to do everything but Drum. That is what I have done for my set. It would be neat to get as many different brands possible and then fill in with different series or factories for the others. You should just post on BST to see what members have. Unfortunately, I got rid of my last extras at the May Chicago show.

Good luck on a very cool endeavor - and a great way to teach delayed gratification

[hcv123]

Ted and everyone else who contributed - thank you!

[Jobu]

I would take Ted's list and search each of them here to see which backs they come with:

http://t206resource.com/Checklist.html

That ought to let you create some specific targets.

Good luck in the hunt!

Thank you again. Printed out a page on each pose variation and the list of different confirmed backs. Placed (probably prematurely) a post on BST and away we go.....

As a long time T206 collector, if I had to give you some advice...

Put the team set together regardless of back. Once you have assembled the entire team (sans Wagner), THEN start finding some of the various backs and switch them out. I kind of did this with my set. I bought as many players as I could to try and complete the set, then started "upgrading" the cards to nicer ones...
