To start a t206 player back run?

[wazoo]

Yes I think it's going to be difficult to find an El Principe De Gales one though.

And beautiful card John. I love the overprint and grade!

Waz,

I sold an EPDG of this card a PSA 5 in the set I sold this year in REA.

Not sure how tough it is I'm sure there others out there. If it is really tough you know where one is. Then perhaps you can ask Rob or Brian of REA to contact the new owner and see if you can work something out.

Cheers,

John

Beautiful card! I'll see what I can do. I'm going to be at the White Plains East Coast National, so I'm hoping to find it there. Who knows? If not, maybe another backed Schlei. I'll find it eventually. Thank you.

Oddly I just started my first back run with the Admiral Schlei portrait. Had the Uzit so that seemed like a good start.

Chasing different backs is a fun project. I have 10 out of 14 different backs on T206 Luther "Dummy" Taylor so I always check on eBay weekly hoping to nail the missing ones but for your project. It seems not too bad since you already have the toughest one.

What are your other projects are?

Best,
Danny

Cool story! And thanks!

I want to finish my t206 back run. I'm missing only 7 more backs! Pretty crazy! It'd be interesting to see if I finished before I'm 20.

I also want to finish the set one day. For now though, I want to obtain all the hall of famers, excluding Wagner and Plank.

Gorgeous UZIT!

Go for it!!!

Rumor has it that the next Sterling auction will have a lot of trimmed EPDGs that includes Schlei.

Don't be surprised if the Old Mill is tougher than the El Prince. Those early series cards are sometimes tougher than you think with Old Mill.

[wazoo]

I might have found an answer for an El Principe Too bad I don't have an auction house accounts :/

And true true. Thanks for the help Mike. I wonder. I hope to get it to work. I'm sure once I find it, I will jumping with joy!

I'll second what Mik'e saying. Over the span of about 7 years I put together a back run of a player with a similar back selection on two different occassions. The Hindu was in a league of it's own for difficulty, but after that it was the Old Mill that proved to be the most difficult to find. The EPDG was probably third, followed by the P350.

Anyway, it sounds like you're off to a great start. Enjoy the rest!

And props to Kawika. You're a class act.

Regards,

Richard.

Wazoo, great idea. I can tell you from my own experience that after I "completed" the set I did a back run. It took me five years , but it was the most fun I've had with this set.

It sounds like you made a good choice with Schlei. There is no killer back ( Uzit, Drum, BL460), you have the toughest already, and because the player is a common the rest, when you find them, shouldn't be too expensive.

So good luck and let us know how you are progressing.

Hey Waz, one more thing. When you check for all backs on T206Resource, for some reason they don't include Blank backs. You have to check the Blank back checklist separately.

As it turns out, there is a Schlei blank back out there somewhere.
Sorry, but your back run is going to be more difficult than you thought. I hope you still go ahead with it. -Sean

Ah man!! What a morale buster. Hey Wazoo - you can always skin a rough Piedmont and get your blank back that way.

[wazoo]

Well that just makes the challenge a tad bit harder. I'm going to need to start selling more lemonade for one of those haha. Maybe one day. For now though, my main priorities will remain with the backs I listed. I really appreciate all the advice guys!
