Amazing, 67 cards (of 68) in your 1910 COUPON set......that is a remarkable achievement. Thanks for display what is arguably the most difficult pre-war set to complete.

The Bob Rhoades card is an interesting one. He retired in Aug 1909, and because of that, my guess is that American Litho short printed this card. This would explain why
his T3 and 1910 COUPON cards are real tough to find.

Good luck in finding Rhoades.

With only 14 cards in my set, I'll never approach your 67-card set. Anyhow, here are the 6 super-prints in the T206 set with 1910 COUPON backs :

Note....this Chance card is now in Ryan Hotchkiss' collection.

Never wanted to do a back run but after making a trade on here for a Croft back Bill Bergen I thought, what the hell! ...card itself is pretty cool looking with the full catchers gear on

I guess I still need a red Croft and the t216s but I pretty much consider my run complete haha

Thanks, Ted, you have the stars from the set. Thanks for the bio info on Rhoades. Sometimes I think I spend too much time on commons. For example, this T205 Bridwell run. I didn't choose to do this player. I found a BL black on ebay and a short time later a Drum showed up and after that I went for the rest. Not all are shown here. I still need a few that I'm not sure are possible or not...Hassan 30, SC 25 and 42 black, BL green, blank, Hindu, P 42, one of the AB's

My T205 research indicates that don't be concerned about Bridwell with HINDU and green AB backs (they don't exist). Black AB card of Bridwell does exist.

Our collecting trends appear to be quite similar. Here are two examples of several T205 runs I have been working on......

Huggins is my favorite of these T205 A-B-C-D sub-sets......plus, I have Huggins with several other T205 backs. No DRUM card has been confirmed with Huggins (to date).
I expect his DRUM will eventually be discovered.

Same goes for Lobert (no DRUM yet).…..

Jeff and Bob, those are awesome pics! What great accomplishments. I hope you complete the runs- let me know if I can help

Only 10 possible cards are needed to complete this Doolan run. I still need the BROAD LEAF 350 card. And, according
to my A-B-C-D theory the DRUM is one of the possible backs. However, no DRUM has been confirmed as of this date.

Officially finished my 10 card Chief Meyers T205 back run today.

This project wasn't always fun. The last two backs I needed were extremely difficult to find, and I ended up settling for a little paper loss on both backs in the end.

The big surprise was picking up a front/back combination that I did not know existed when I started the run...a Chief Meyers American Beauty (green.)

Here are scans of the 8 different brands. Piedmont and Hassan had two different factories available.

Thanks, If you see a T213-1 Rhoades at a card show buy it. I will trade well for it.

Here's a new addition...HLC

I must have the black AB and now I understand or remember that I don't need green AB.

RE: C-Mack's Bergen run. I don't know if Bergen is available with all 5 T216 backs or not. I think it is presumed that all 74 subjects come with all 5 backs, but I haven't seen that explained.

An alert reader pointed out that there is a scan of a T216 Cobb VE in the recent "Louisiana Cards" thread, so we know Cobb lean/bat comes with all 5 backs.

I don't recall the specifics, but I know Steve (Brassrat) has previously posted about the print order of the different backs along with the team variations and how that can be used determine if different combinations are likely/unlikely. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread now so maybe he will comment.
