What is the least common T206 brand back you have?

[Lobo Aullando]

The least populous (via PSA) is at the top, so it's easy to just read down the list until you hit yours.

There are hundreds of ways to slice and dice up the set, so will there be any unexpected bunching?

How many total votes will be in with a zero still lingering for one brand?

Will Sweet Caporals account for the majority of votes since folks doing only common backs will have both that one and Piedmonts?

Will the second-tier grouping of Old Mill, Polar Bear, and Sovereign combined account for two-thirds, one-third, or one-tenth?

Where is the Cobb back?
I dont own it, but Im sure someone does.

[Lobo Aullando]

Fair point.

I think we probably would get a couple of owners.

While I don’t personally own Cobb/Cobb - someone very close to me - who occasionally posts on here does. Really fun card to look at

I do miss the old days of collecting in 1980s and early 90s when I was just a kid - and you could buy 100 assorted T206s and almost certainly find at least a few Hindu cards and maybe something even rarer.

Mine is a Lenox

Cobb/Cobb

And you also missed Brown Lenox and the rarest of all- the brown old mill

Man, I've seen five Wagners in person, but am yet to get eyes-on for a Cobb/Cobb.

I have an Old Mill that it took way too long for me to figure out what color the ink was. The back is moderately discolored, the inking is somewhat weak, and my brain kept processing brown. A back scan finally – not to mention super obviously – put it to rest, it was merely black.

Nice card! But yes, that’s black. The brown old mills are very obviously brown. It’s the Hindu brown. The brown on brown Lenox is not as obvious and there are several different shades, which makes distinguishing brown from faded black more difficult.

Not on any lists but mine is a Piedmont/Tolstoi/Crawford/Burch/T68 Victor Emmanuel back. Technically I guess only the Piedmont/Tolstoi would be the only brands on the back.

Ryan's right...the rarest ones are missing from the poll.

[DeanH3]

My rarest T206 back. Sorry, can't resist.

[Luke]

Broad Leaf 460 should be at the top of the list I think. I didn't know which to click. I have a Uzit, but it's not the rarest t206 back.

When it comes to rarest T206 backs, I'm a common Hindude.

Luke, the OP is a little misleading...I think he's just talking "brands", regardless of series or color (i.e. 350 vs. 460, red hindu vs. brown).

So, I think Drum would be rarest "brand".

[FrankWakefield]

Don't you think folks here are more likely to have backs other than Piedmont and Sweet Caporal; and that average or normal collectors (whatever they are) are less likely to have a card with a less plentiful back? It's an interesting pole, but it doesn't directly associate with all baseball card collectors.
