Some T205 backs are very tough...A quick check on Ebay showed a total of 3 cards with Broad Leaf backs all over $1,000 and no cards with Hindu or Drum backs which are about as rare as a hen's tooth.

Nice Broadleaf. Mine came in my first group of prewar vintage cards. And it still is my only one. No Hindu or Drum in my collection...they are on the ultimate level of T205 back scarcity.

After all these years my Wheat is still only worth 2 points.

My only 2 are Cobbs. I am still hoping for an injunction to stop the quantity rule, or else I might be stuck at 12!

Super nice Cobb cards Leon. I love the sharp registration on them. I will give you 12 points plus an additional 12 points, but then must deduct 12 points because they are just too good looking for my beater eyes to process.

In the pre-war realm, I am primarily a Washington "Team" Collector*. In my team collection, with very few exceptions, I collect only cards reflecting Washington players, while they were playing for Washington. The primary exception is that I also collect Clark Griffith, regardless of team.

This exception intrudes on my T205 collection, which includes Griffith as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. So, my Washington* EGGS line up would be Elberfeld (5) -- 1 point; Gray - Stats (-0-) -- 5 points; Gray - NoStats (5) -- 2 points; Griffith* (7) -- 2 points; Groom (3) -- 1 point; Walter Johnson (6) -- 6 points; McBride (6) -- 1 point; Milan (4) -- 1 point; Schaefer (4) -- 1 point; and Street (4) -- 1 point.

That makes my* EGGS score 16, I think. The numbers in parenthesis are the number of different backs I have of each card. (Gray Stats has been elusive.)
That gives me a Washington* EGGS* score of 86, which feels better, unauthorized though it may be. And a requisite card to avoid breaking any more rules.

I come up with 21 official EGGS points, with 19 of 19 for the Washington team subset. I will show both on the list. Pretty impressive lineup of backs, by the way.
