1941 Play Ball Wrong Back Checklist

t206fix · #1 03-22-2014, 11:16 PM

Andy,

I don't have a lot of them, but I try to pick them up when I see them. Some are out of my price range, but I think they are cool. Most of these I got for "cheaper" than their "right" back counters:

Carl Hubbell front - Brancato back
Harry Gumbert front - McQuinn back
Pee Wee front - Judnich back
Judnich front - Reese back
Hudson front - Camili back

I've seen a lot of other wrong backs, but sellers wanted much, much more than I wanted to pay!

Cool idea - glad to see you have quite a few of them

I updated the main checklist with the two that I didn't have that you brought to my attention. I do plan on adding to the list ones I know about, but don't own, but I have been very busy lately.

It seems that there are some that come up often, but there are some front back combos that don't seem to be that common. Again not an expert, so I am only surmising that the ones with the "Also look..." backs are harder to find.

Interesting Gunboat/DiMaggio because that is now the third back for Gumbert.

I know at one point when I first started doing my research there was another DiMaggio combo, but I hadn't looked back to see whom it was.

I also surmise that Low#/High# combos, like your Gumbert/Dimaggio are rarer. Because when I do see repeats or "opposite combos" (meaning seeing the same combo of players but who is on the back and front switches) they seem to come from the same series. Again I have just started looking so I could be wrong.

Nice topic...here is what I have in my collection not currently on your list:

25 Gene Moore 48 Cecil Travis
39 Tommy Henrich 34 Rollie Hemsley
59 Bill Jurges 62 Elbie Fletcher
63 Dom Dimaggio 58 Frank Demaree

Good luck on the research...

Here is one that is not on your list -

#28 Marty w/ Auker back

Seller wants a little too much for it in my opinion -

Thank you. There are a few on ebay and other places that I need to add. I have been really busy (I had a play open this past weekend I am acting in), I figured I would upload my personal list and open the discussion as I was waiting to get more time. I haven't even added the ones in this thread to my personal list yet.
