Very neat array of Downs cards.

As I am sure you know, Downs can be found with the BROAD LEAF 350 and DRUM backs.
I have not seen Downs with CAROLINA BRIGHTS, EPDG, nor OLD MILL backs. However, it
is possible that Downs was printed with these backs

Your TOLSTOI / Downs card is the first one I have seen. The Downs card is one of the
Minor Leaguer's I usually look for, so I'll be on the look-out for the missing backs for you.

Thanks for sharing your cards with us.

Ted - thanks. I've seen the pop reports and noticed the BL and Drum. Haven't seen or heard of the others you mentioned also. I've passed on picking up other BLs and Drums - in hopes of finding the Downs' first. Someday.

1st....I'm very surprised that an OLD MILL of Downs has not surfaced.

2nd....regarding the DRUM /Downs, I vaguely recall seeing one many years ago. But, haven't seen one since. It might be unique.

3rd....I might be able to get you a BROAD LEAF 350 Downs. I'm checking in to it. No guarantee, though.

Good Morning Ted - I am almost certain Downs was not printed with an Old Mill back. If he had been he would also have been printed with a Polar Bear back which we know he wasn't or an EPDG back which has never been confirmed. No player has been confirmed with just a Tolstoi and Old Mill back that I am aware of.

There is a small group that were just included in the Tolstoi run and no other assorted backs and I believe Downs is one.

You bring up an interesting interrelation between T-backs regarding OLD MILL's, of which I would like to expand on. Not all
T206 subjects are possible with the OLD MILL back, even though they exist with an EPDG back and a POLAR BEAR back.
Another T-back factor is in play here. The SOVEREIGN 350 No-Prints subjects will not be found with an OLD MILL back....
regardless if they exist with both EPDG and POLAR BEAR backs.

It's interesting to note that there are approx. 60 - 350 series Minor Leaguer's that do not exist with an OLD MILL back.
Probably, due to the larger series of T210's.

Anyhow, I'm in agreement with you that Downs most likely was not printed with an OLD MILL back.

Also,

JIM

You probably know this, but your favorite guy, Doc. Merle Adkins will not be found with an OLD MILL back.
Since Adkins is a SOVEREIGN 350 No-Print.

I would have to go with the popular vote of Matty and Johnson, but since those guys are pretty well covered, I will post my favorite infielder. I have upgrade most of these, but still like this shot the best. I have also added the Tolstoi, only the AB to go!
Here is the link to all with the upgrades included:
