Way back when collecting was more about the time (not the money) that you had -- (think roughly 25 years ago for me), my dad and I used to buy lots of raw cards from people who were generally unconcerned about backs. I can say that I've gotten just about every single type of back in the roughly 2000 raw cards that I've been through without even trying. The two exceptions from the 'major varieties' list for us were Drum and Broadleaf 460. We had to actively seek those two out to buy 'em. I should add that I also never got a random brown Lenox or brown old mill. Oddly enough I did find 4 uzits.
Not really sure what the point of my post is ... other than to remember the good 'ol days of collecting.
Best,
Scott
