off-back HOFers - if this thread doesn't exist, it should!

[Oscar_Stanage]

***Please share some cool less common combos for HOFers (and other popular cards)

I will probably never own a Drum/Uzit/Red Hindu, and will never have the fortitude to be a true back collector. However, I do really appreciate the off-backs and thought a good approach to the Monster would be to try to gather as many as I can with the HOFers and non-common/popular players. Here are some to share as I was itemizing my collection this weekend... Maybe some are common and probably not worth much extra, but cool to have - I always appreciate an overprint, personally.


1) SC 150/649 OP: G. Davis & Griffith Portrait
2) SC 460/42: Duffy & Joss Pitching
3) SC 460/42 OP: Lajoie Batting & Polar Bear: Smith Chi/Bos
4) Old Mill: Chase Dark Cap & Willis batting
5) Sov 350: Wajo Portrait & Walsh
6) Sov 460: Marquard & Tolstoi: McGraw Glove
7) Sov 460: McGraw Cap & EPDG: Bender

Excited to see what this thread will produce!

Huggins pop is very low w/ Tolstoi reverse. The Willis isn't that common either.

Nice card. Its always fund when I see cards I used to own pop up in other's collection and/or for auction and I have no idea the route they took to get there. Enjoy that one -- a blank back HOFer is beast. I only gave the Griffith up because I got this to replace it

ha, the clean PB back jumped out at me... .

[Natswin2019]

This one is probably my favorite card in my collection

[Ronnie73]

I don't have a lot of my cards scanned but I do keep a detailed spreadsheet and figured I share that with everyone.

Same here. I sold my Matty Black Cap last year after owning it since the 70s. Has a special place in my collector's 'heart' and seeing one with my favorite back really got my attention.

Lots of great cards here.

Ted, I am not sure the cards I started the post with would be considered "rare", so I included the term "off" back. Maybe not the correct term, but it allowed me to incorporate some SC factory 42s that I like and still maintain the integrity of the post!

[MVSNYC]

Ted, I'm with ya, regarding "off-backs"...they've just always been known as "rare backs" to me.

Here's a few more...

off-back HOFers - if this thread doesn't exits, it should!

Probably all the T206 haters are thinking this thread so go away just like it says in its title.

It took me a couple of weeks to notice the mispelling. And I just intentionally misspelled misspelling, so as to prove the point that even misspelled words can still get the meaning arcoss.

Brian (not a T206 hater...great cards everyone)

I noticed the spelling error on the first day of the post. I figured it would be caught and fixed, but everyone started posting and sharing, with no problems. So I figured it really didn't matter, and let it slide. I had to respond, because the error was finally brought up. They say, if it's not broke, don't fix it. Maybe nowadays, during so many changes in the human life, If it's broke, just leave it broke.

Being a severe dyslexic, I never noticed. Even as pointed out, it still took me a minute to see the mis-spelling ...................

Heck, I'm such a bad speller, I'd probably misspell Jon ...........


Fun, fun, Scott
