1916 M101 backs

[Leon]

There are approximately 20 different backs. Some are more rare/valuable than others. They go anywhere from 1x value to 10x-25x value.....(a Gimbels variation rarely seen would be hotly contested).....

is there a consensus then as to which backs have what multipliers. For instance, Altoona Tribune backs , and Gimbels backs. Does card condition really matter when you are buying one of the ad backed cards ? The cards I am seeing are pretty beat up and would be considered Fair condition at best

I don't think there is a back multiplier chart anywhere. I have seen some super high prices on some scarce backs recently and some relatively low prices on others. You might be able to do a few board searches for rarity levels. I came close to finishing my back set (except for a few variations) many years ago. I think they are fun to collect. Those rarity levels have changed over time with new "discoveries" of certain ones.
