Attention T206 experts - I need help

Ted and everyone else who contributed - thank you!

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

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...

Excellent Idea.

I Imagine Waiting for those Rare Backs in Some Combination would be Very Very Frustrating as it would Take Forever.

WOW! Have we learned a lot! Thanks for the jump start here guys. We found T206 resource and Luke's blog a big help too. We have all the Pirates and backs in a spreadsheet and we are well on our way. We have have 10 different backs and 12 different fronts so far. Bought our first 2 at the National. Grades are a little all over the place - mostly looking for cards with nice eye appeal. Making exceptions for rare front/back combos. Here is what we have so far. A couple of cracker Jacks and a T207 for good measure! So it looks like the Carolina Brights, Broad leaf, Lennox black, Uzit and Drum are going to take some time (and $$). Your comments and input as always are invited.

This. Plus, it's an easier pill to swallow when you're upgrading at $5-20 a pop (random range depending on the back) instead of $50-70 up front (commons are around $20).

Thank you for getting your son engaged in Pre-War. Keep This Hobby Great!
