Below is my take on the following inquiry:
Backs
Sweet Caporals seem to be easily the most popular even though (and maybe because?) they are relatively common, with the exception of the 350-460 Factory No.25 variant. Is that right? Are Piedmonts considered far less desirable despite VCP lumping them in with Sweet Caporals? What about Polar Bear, Sovereign, etc. from a collecting, aesthetic, and investment perspective?
Popularity on backs is tough to judge, as some of the least common backs often garner strong interest. As far as availability between Piedmont backs and Sweet Caporal, Piedmont is by far the most commonly found, and I have never noticed much difference overall in demand between these two most common backs.
