Hi Tom

I don't have much info about T206 blank backs. There are others on Net54 that may be knowledgeable on them.

T206 blank-backs are a random phenomena; therefore, I have not done any meaningful research on them.

Thank you Ted for everything you do. This will help out many of the newer collectors of T206's and give us more advanced collectors a list to compare to our own personal lists. Currently my checklist consists of 5256 different combinations of cards that were pack inserted. That number does not include Scraps, No Prints, Blank Backs, Brown Old Mills, or Blue Old Mills. It also doesn't include cards that would fit the print pattern but haven't been seen or found yet. I'll have to compare your list to mine at some point and see what differences there are.

Hi Ron

So who has the most different T206's ? It appears the possibilities are above the 5k range. I have 30 ( All 30 Detroit for a team set).

Hi Mike

In recent years, David Hall put together a near-5300 card (98% complete) master set. David is probably one of the very few guys to achieve this.

Bill Heitman (author of "The Monster") may have had a near master T206 set with all the many 1000's of T206 cards, which were in his collection.

On the PSA Registry, you can find Brady Hill (a T-Shirt company owner that has a few searchable articles about his collecting/investing goals) He currently shows that he owns 3457 cards out of 3921 different cards. Because PSA only counts different brand backs and not detail of Subject and Factory numbers, their complete card set count is currently at 3921 different cards. I've been trying to get them to update this registry set slot for a few years now or even make a whole new one to have a slot for the 5250+ different combo's. I offered to help for free and also offer any of my research to help better the registry set and properly giving each combo a realistic point value based on true rarity and not just by player and back. They told me it was already in the works and under control. That must have been over 3+ years now and I'm still waiting.

I'm not really sure how many collectors are currently going after all 5250+ different cards. I think it's a small group of us. Over the last 5 years, there have been a large quantity of collectors that have taken the 520 card "Monster" set and decided to add more difficulty to the task. A basic 520 card set, regardless of the advertising back, is actually a fairly simple task if you have the money. Between eBay, Net54, and a few of the Facebook groups, it's just money that stands in the way of building a set very quickly. I believe many felt the same way and decided to add a difficulty twist to building the set. Such as a set with no Piedmont or Sweet Caporal backs. Others have focused on just one particular card back, and some have gone after the Hall of Famer's, while others stick with a certain team set with all the different possible backs. There's so many ways to collect the set. That's one of the reasons why it's so popular. But I really don't know how many are truly going after the 5250+ cards. I can only speak for myself as one of those people.
