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.
