Back Run Bonanza!

[tedzan]

At the 2007 Philly Show in Reading, PA, Toby (bigfish) made my weekend, by selling me this Frank Delahanty DRUM card. Finally, I completed this A - B - C - D run.
I'd been searching for this DRUM for many years. I have yet to see another one, since I acquired this one. Yes, it is a "unique" T206.

On display here is my first AMERICAN BEAUTY - BROAD LEAF - CYCLE - DRUM connection.

Here are a few of mine!

Great run(s) Jay.

Jay, those are awesome.

VCP only has 3 total sales in the last 12 years of the WaJo Drum. A PSA 4 sold in 2019 for $75k. That one is a crossover from a previous SGC 4, I believe. There is also a PSA 1.5 out there missing a corner. Super tough card, hope you can eventually find one to complete your run

So much time and effort into these runs! Incredible!

The back runs in this thread are fantastic! I'm really enjoying all the colorful eye candy! But, it is said that variety is the spice of life. So, for variety, here's a black & white back run from the master set of Sam Rice cards that I'm working on. If anyone can help me add to this back run, kindly PM me.

Note: In the last group of cards there are two adjacent cards with blank backs. The first card is readily recognized as a W501 Type 1 because it has "G-4-22" and card number "14" printed on the top border. The second card card is a W501 Type 2, which is identical except for the absence of printing on the top border.

Does a "front run" count?

That is incredible Val! Certainly wish I could help you on that run.

Jay, even though I have saved that picture and seen it several times, it still amazes me each time. I do love collecting WaJo, but would still be amazed regardless.

From my experience working on T206 and T205 runs, I gained an appreciation for certain printing patterns of the T205 cards.
Examples of these are....

1st.....American Lithographic printed exactly 32 - T205 subjects with the A - B - C - D connection.

2nd....HINDU cards and DRUM cards are Mutually-Exclusive.

3rd....The A - B - C - D cards and the T205 AMERICAN BEAUTY (Green) cards are Mutually-Exclusive.



Harry Wolter is one of the 32 subjects printed in the A - B - C - D group. I believe this Wolter run is complete with 11 cards.

Therefore, I am still looking for his HONEST LONG CUT back.

Here is one of my favorite T206 runs.

American Lithographic divided the 46 subjects in the 460-only series into 2 print groups. This McGraw was printed in the Exclusive 12 group. Each of the 12 subjects in this group
were printed with 13 different backs. And the 13th card, the UZIT, was a lucky number for me here.

In response to many requests (I wish! ) to see another real-photo, black & white back run, here's my WaJo with the hands-at-chest pose. Surely, someone else has a b & w back run to show.

I'd very much like to add to this back run. Will purchase or trade. Have good stuff to trade, such as T206s of WaJo with scarcer backs (e.g., Am. Beauty, Cycle, Old Mill, Piedmont 42, Sovereign, Tolstoi, etc.) and tough type cards (e.g., G & B Gum, 1910 All Star Base-Ball, D304 Martens, Western Playground, etc.).

That Johnson run is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

This OLD MILL card of Hal Chase is my very 1st T206....which I acquired at the Willow Grove Show in March 1981.
Till this day, I still continue collecting Hal Chase cards.

I acquired this very rare LENOX Chase from a Net54 member in a trade (circa 2011). In recent years, I traded it to Chris Browne.

And, my Chase "obsession" expands into these subsequent White-Bordered cards (T213-2, T213-3, T214).

Sorry that you weren't able to get the Uzit Herzog Bill.

Here's my Conroy batting partial back run I'm missing three the Drum, Brown Lenox and PD350-460/25. I just haven't picked up the PD350-460/25 yet a couple of Drums have come up in auctions but they're out of my price range so I probably won't get that or the brown Lenox but I do have a SC350-460/30 "no print".

I'm also working on a front run I have 20 of the 29 confirmed Sweet Caporal 350 factory 30's with the large sheet numbers on the bottom.
