This shoudln't be so hard, but it's been maddening. PSA pop report shows six copies. SGC shows four copies. It isn't like this is a Pop 1 or 2 card.

Please see my B/S/T WTB post yesterday. I'm now publicly offering stupid money for one. Any sellers? It would be my great plesaure for someone out there to gouge me!

Hi Jon

As you know, I have been going for an ambitious master set of the 12 cards I refer to as the Exclusive 12 (460-only Series). Each of these 12 were printed with 13 backs.

Hummel is included in this group of 12. I have yet to find a Hummel with an EPDG back. My experience collecting this group of cards is that CYCLE 460, EPDG, OLD MILL
are much tougher to find than the other 9 backs. And, it is practically impossible to find a UZIT card of these 12 guys.

Anyhow, if I find an EPDG of Hummel, I will contact you. Am I guessing correctly that this card is the last one you need to complete your EPDG run ?


Also, will I see you at the Philly Show in three weeks ?

Not a player run, per se, but here's my mini Hindu "run"...

[fkm_bky]

I started the Herzog Boston run knowing I will never complete it as there is only one know example of the Uzit back. I'll have to consider it compete without it as I can't see it coming up for sale, or me wanting to pay what the asking price would be. I still love the chase. Really only tougher one's remain for me (AB460, EPDG & Cycle 460 will be very difficult to come by, but hopefully not impossible).

You smoked me out, Ted. Yes, it's the last one I need for the whole thing. ... Don't know yet about Philly, but I'm hoping to go. Will keep you posted.

[HobokenJon]

And thank you Ted for offering to help! If anyone can find an EPDG Hummel, it's you!!

I guess I have some to show too. Here’s my Dahlen run that Jay copied me on. Yeah, I said it.

I believe the Boston EPDG was my last one I needed and Scott was gracious to make a trade with me when I bought him a Hindu.

The Brooklyn Old Mill I got early on but it is the toughest of the Brooklyns but not terrible.

[Thromdog]

The Frank Smith white cap card has always intrigued me as it’s one of the lowest pop commons that isn’t considered a rarity. The EPDG is definitely the toughest of the group, but I have 3 of them. The Tolstoi is also a huge pain and it took me a long time to finally spend up and get one.

Big fan of this card obviously.

Big thumbs up on the Smith White Cap run Jeff! I still need an EPDG and a Tolstoi to finish mine.

Jeff, if you are looking for the brown Lenox, I am open to trading (although it’s Chicago and Boston)

[Kevin]

Lots going on the last few months. I’m focusing on just a few cards in 2022. And I’m looking to add my man John Frill - any and all backs. That’s where I’m at.

Hi Jeff

Dramatic Dahlen runs....both Boston and Brooklyn. Especially the Boston version, since it is one of the Elite 11 guys.

Thanks for posting them.
