Don't think so, but Billy Broadleaf is pretty easy to find with BL350.

overall....lenox 1.75x tufer than bl 350.......of course with any back, some combos are a lot tufer.....btw...Jim R is the one who could pinpoint this I believe(not taking anything away from anyone)....he is as OCD with these as I am with scrap

I was probably wrong on this one. I actually thought that Lenox was almost a 2 to 1 premium over BL350....

Johnny- you're OCD with scrap? We had no idea.

Back in the good 'ol days (1980s and early '90s) of T206 collecting, my dad and I had purchased literally thousands of T206 cards often as large lots and typically from sellers who didn't care much about the backs.

Looking back at those 'random back' purchases I can remember getting all of the different varieties of backs, except for drum and BL460 (and of course no brown OM, brown lenox or Cobb). I recall getting somewhere around 3 lenox cards but at least 5 BL350s. I know that this is a really small sample size so take it for what it's worth. However, I'd also add that when I actively looked for tougher backs, years ago, BL 350 just seemed easier to find than Lenox.
