T206 Back "Grid"

[jtschantz]

In my "quest" to get a Basic Back set listed on the PSA regristry I have had several discussions with PSA. I requested a 15 card basic back set in which you just need one brand (without the variations within the brand) to fill the slot. For example, any American Beauty (350 or 460, with or w/o frame) would fill the American Beauty slot, Any Sweet Cap card would fill the Sweet Cap slot, etc. It looks like they are going to do it, but the last question they asked was, "should the Cobb back card be listed"? I say no because I think there are those who disagree as to wheather it is a T206 or not. I went on to say that it would be included in a "Master Back" set if it were possible for PSA to have one. The reason there can be no master back set would be because PSA doesn't distinguish between the various series or factory numbers of designs within each brand on their flips. Any other opinions on the Cobb being included in a basic set?

I for one wish that PSA would put all back information on the flip (Brand, Factory, etc.).

I would keep the Cobb out of a Basic Back set for two reasons. One is that there's significant disagreement whether it's truly part of the T206 set, as you mentioned. The second reason is that including it would make it impossible for nearly anyone to complete that set.

Am thrilled to hear that PSA is creating this set. Thanks for helping make that happen.
