Polar Bear is great, and certainly stands out strongest amongst the other backs. But something really clicks with the Carolina Brights for me.

Definitely a beauty. By far the nicest frame amongst the backs IMO.

I think there is something special about the Old Mill southern league variation as well, it's nice seeing a "wordy" back.

American Beauty no border is the best looking.

Polar Bear is tops for T206. The Red Cycle T207 backs reigns supreme over all backs though and it’s not even close imo.

They won't come anywhere near the top in this poll, but I think if people were honest about it, and disregarded their natural bias towards rarity, then both Piedmont and Sweet Caporal would win out. They're the most common, but also the best looking.

EPDG is my favorite. I'm a little surprised it currently has only 2 votes. But Sovereign is my 2nd favorite & it has yet to get a vote.

Here's a link to see all of the backs

Illl take a Red hindu or Uzit any day - colorful and simple. Neither is an option in the poll....

Those are my two favorites, I voted for Sovereign, but EPDG was a close second.

I think the Sweet Cap Fac. 649 Overprint is the sharpest SC.

Sweet Cap is a little busy for my taste. Piedmont is nice, but I like how CB, Cycle, Drum and a couple others feel more balanced to me.

Sorry to those who would go with Uzit or an unframed back, as I had limited options for the poll.

Seconded.

Barry and David, I agree with you. We form a trifecta.

Especially, the AB 460 back since we know it was printed in the last press runs of T206's in early 1911.
