Ted, the Bridwell looks very dark blue or black to me, in-hand.

It's very interesting that Michael's Broad Leaf Becker also has a green back.

Here are some backs I have scans of, I'll see if I can scan some more this week and group them by back color.

I have not seen enough T205 BROAD LEAF cards to form an accurate correlation between their color variations (green, blue, etc.) and the DRUM cards. There aren't too many
BROAD LEAF cards with these other color variations available to make an honest evaluation. The greater majority of BROAD LEAF backs are Black ink (or Brown).

One factor I am certain of in this A = B = C = D equation is that the Black AMERICAN BEAUTY back correlates exactly with existence (or probability) of a DRUM back.

Conversely, T205 subjects printed with the Green AMERICAN BEAUTY backs are mutually-exclusive with T205's with DRUM backs.

Checklist of the 12 basic Tobacco backs for this group of 32 subjects (Quad Squad).…..

PIEDMONT (Factory #42)

John Lobert is another one of my "Quad Squad" guys....which for now is just a "tri-squad" sub-set, since no DRUM card of John Lobert has yet to be discovered.
But, I do I have high expectations that his DRUM card will eventually be discovered.

Lobert was one fast running dude. This example best attests to this.....in 1913, he and Jim Thorpe raced the 100 yard dash at the Polo Grounds and Lobert won.

Thank goodness. This (green) AB Gibson was the last one I picked up to complete my back run.



I really do like the look of the Broadleaf and Drum backs, but am plenty content only having the AB and Cycle options as far as Gibson is concerned.

Here's my Cycle:



Great cards everyone!
