What's your personal favorite T206 back?

[Chuck9788]

Never mind the value. What T206 back of the card tobacco advertisement do you like most? Why?

[darwinbulldog]

Polar Bear. Everything else just looks the same to me.

[bnorth]

Old Mill because it is the same back as the much nicer T210 set.

[MVSNYC]

For me, it's a tie between Uzit & Lenox. I love the bold, straight-forward graphic design of both. No frills, no scrolls.

[clydepepper]

Large Ass, of course!

[RedsFan1941]

great uzit mullin. i used to own that card.

[glynparson]

Carolina brights

[Rhotchkiss]

Uzit or Red Hindu

[philliesphan]

Definitely Red Hindu

[C-mack]

Being from Texas its definitely old mills

[DeanH3]

I'd have to go with Carolina Brights. Don't have one but hopefully someday.

Me, too! If anyone knows the whereabouts of this signed T206 Snodgrass with Hindu back (from Trader Speaks 1976), please let me know. I'd pay a LOT more than $3.00 for it today (notice how he's selling Kleinow BOS with PB back for twice as much)!!

[Jobu]

+1 for the above reasons... valuation and rarity aside.

[MVSNYC]

Thanks Ronnie- I got the Uzit from Scott L, then traded it to Derek H, then missed it too much, so got it back from him...It has the boldest/darkest ink on a Uzit I've seen.

David, not a 460, but can this AB count?

[Rhotchkiss]

Show off! Great looking card Michael

Actually Michael, I won the Mullin Uzit from Love Of The Game Auctions and then traded it to you. It was the Cy Young Hindu we passed back and forth some.

[peterb69]

Drum because it's purple and I don't have any.

Actually I bought the Mullin Uzit from Scott L around 2010, then must've sold it/traded it, or consigned it to LOTG (can't remember). But I owned it before you, then ultimately got it back from you years later.

[Orioles1954]

I think T213-1 are most definitely T206. I look at T213-2 and 3 as Update sets. 😄 As for the question....definitely El Principe de Gales with Polar Bear as runner ups.

[t206kid]

Pretty much changes day by day, but Cycle 460 has been speaking to me lately

T213 Types 2+3 are just glorified reprints.

[sycks22]

I'll go with Carolina Brights. I love the intricate design.

[CobbSpikedMe]

I like Polar Bear the best all things being equal.

[Gradedcardman]

Easily the Piedmont Factory 42's. Being from NC its a natural fit...Glad to have them all !!

[Rhotchkiss]

Adam, you have the other Tinker bat off?

[Gradedcardman]

Ryan,
I recently had a chance to trade for one. After you got the Tinker I sold the Cobb. Last year I bought the Red Cobb in LOTG and when I was offered the Tinker in a trade I had to do it !! PSA Registry still has four listed that have no clear evidence they have yet surfaced. So I have the 72 known once again in one grade or another !!

[tedzan]

In alphabetical order, these three are equally my favorite T206 backs...…


AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 sub-set 97 % complete (72 cards of 74)

.




Red HINDU sub-set (currently 14 cards of known 53)

Nice Adam. Email me a pic. I know of the onr with the borders all trimmed (must have been the same owner as this Evers I own), and then there is mine, which you used to own (also attached)

T215-1 Red Cross!

[Mark17]

Piedmont, because the blue is attractive and design is elegant. But mostly because it brings back one of my best hobby memories.

Back in the mid-late 1970s, there was a collector named Ralph Nozaki who collected errors and variations. I had purchased my friend's brother's card collection of 1962s, and found a Hal Reniff variation where the card number was wrong. It meant nothing to me, but Ralph was interested in trading for it.

I had never owned or even seen a tobacco card, let alone a T206. I had a Sports Hobbyist magazine with a large black and white image of the Wagner, so for all I knew, T206 cards were that large, similar to modern cards. I sent that Reniff card to Ralph and told him I would be happy with any T206 card in trade.

Soon afterwards, I got a nice letter from Ralph with a T206 enclosed. I expected, and would have been very happy, with it being a common, but instead he sent me a card of a fellow named Christy Mathewson, pitching pose with white cap. It had a Piedmont back.

I kept that card until 1991, when I was building my house (which I still live in,) and decided to sell it along with a large (70 or so) collection of T3 cards I had subsequently collected, in order to add two fireplaces to my home building budget.

I love those fireplaces - I use them all the time in sometimes sub-zero Minnesota winters - and I also love the memory Ralph gave me all those years ago.

My favorite back is whichever one that is attached to a front that I need...........
