Broadleaf backs are in the tougher class of cards, and have no overlap with the the players found with Recruit/Napoleon backs. In that case, the relative value is based on who is on the front.

Here's one reference about the set, including info on the backs.

What an excellent summary of t207. Thanks for sharing. I agree that the artwork on many of the cards is “abysmally ugly”. I have the Wajo and Chief Bender cards and neither one looks anything like them. My Wajo looks like he has red lipstick on. Any idea why so many stars were left out of the set?
