rarest backs

That's a separate issue. There are about 100 Pirates that I know of. How many hundreds or thousands of Red Crosses do you suppose there are? I was generally trying to limit myself to cards that would make up less than 1% of the total for the cataloged set. Surely there aren't 10,000 T215s, are there?

T213-1 and T214 both have common fronts(T206), but not the easiest ad backs.

T3 and T9 "no-ad" backs are hens teeth. Easily less than 1% of the T3 and T9 population. No doubt about it.

Even though e107s are rare, the OP back (not sure if that counts) is much rarer and accounts for under 5% of their total pop, probably less...

Victory tobacco backs are quite difficult as well.

M101-4/5 Haserots Erie Coffee - Part of a lot of 6 that Rob D. sold last year, this one was the poorest of the bunch - the only I could afford at the time haha. I don't think any other examples of this back are known.

Most M101-2 Supplements have blank backs. Probably one in 500 (maybe less?) have an ad on the back. Here is one of the few ad-back variations - borrowing from Mark P. as I haven't scanned mine in. Great thread created by Mark here
