I'm up to eight different backs of this Hal Chase fielding pose. I know I still need the E105 Mello-Mint.

Are you going to include Coupons in your runs?

Edited to dd: Duh, I see a Coupon in your run! And Kottons!

Davis, still looking for a cocoa and, if it exists, a black croft's candy.

and the start of my Young backrun which still quite a bit to go.

Nice guys. DJ, great meeting you in person in Philly. Ted, as always, great seeing you and thanks again for the t213 Chance. Great thread idea.

I don�t know how to post pics like you guys with all the fronts and backs lined up in a single shot, so here is one run I am working on. I know I still need the black Croft�s Cocoa, the E105, the e106, the T216 VE, and other T216 Kotton variations. DJ, am I missing any?

Maybe I can post some other runs down the line.

Ryan, a couple come to mind immediately. Tango Eggs I know exists and was previously owned by a board member. I also believe a D303 General Baking is known to exist though not sure if this is a batting or standing pose. I don't think a Mothers Bread has been confirmed yet, but it might be possible. I've seen someone on the board mention the red croft exists as well, but have seen no proof of it. There are also a lot of permutations to the Kottons (and maybe Mino/VE?) especially if you count the team name variations as well. I'm not familiar enough with the T216s to know all the possible combinations.

In the archive there is an old thread from 2009 about asking if some Cobb's existed, 3 of the 5 asked about have now been confirmed (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=92102).

Ryan, I know there is a T216 Cobb lean-on-bat T216-3 (the thin paper w/o a factory #) "Detroit Am." It is the exemplar used in the 2006 SCD checklist.

I have picked up a few over the years, up to around 25, but have only recently started studying the backs. VE and T216-3 have thin paper and no factory #. T216-1 (1.2.3. Kotton fact 11), T216-2 Kotton fact 4, Mino Fact 4.

I would like to get checklists for all 5 backs, but I'm gathering more information before I start a post about it. I believe T216-3 (which I believe should be called type 1) and VE should be similar in subjects as they are similar in design, likewise MINO and T216-2(fact 4). The most common set seems to be the Kotton 123 fact 11's. I'll post more later on this as It's mostly conjecture.

Here's a Tinker port run off to a good start...

gabrinus · #9 12-10-2019, 05:35 PM

Great thread guys..Ryan and DJ I had a D303 General Baking Cobb but it was the different pose...the Tango Cobb I had was of the same pose(s) that Ryan has....I have not seen a Mothers Bread Cobb yet...Jerry

Some really great stuff guys......let's see how many more varieties of BB card runs we can display in this thread.

Needless to say, Baseball card runs usually comprise of a given subject and its many different T-brand (or Candy-brand) backs which it was printed with.
But then there is another type of run which consists of a group of different subjects with the same SCARCE back. This group is unique within their Series
because the other subjects in that particular Series were not printed with that SCARCE back. For example, the 460-only Series in the T206 set comprises
of 48 subjects; however, only these 12 guys in this Series were printed with the red HINDU back. I refer to these guys as the "Exclusive 12".....��..

Bob and DJ, sincere thanks for all the info. Between you both, you can probably reconstruct a total back list for all E92 (or T216) fronts. So much knowledge on this site.

Dean, I love that run. It�s as foolish an endeavor as the unicorns I chase and I love it! One step at a time, and if Jamie can complete the red Cobb, you and I can complete the Matty dark cap run and Evers yellow sky run, respectively.

Ted, that run of red Hindus are perfect for Christmas. My favorite back
