T207

actually, all T207 Cardinal cards were destroyed in the Great Chicago fire of 1871 and were deemed as the tinder that Some warped Cardinal fan/ arsonist used to start the fire so no such list will be available for the Cardinal players. :-)

An arson investigator went to the scene of the crime and found a pile of T207 Cardinal players cards in the smoldering ashes of a barn located on the "O'Leary" residence. It was also discovered that "Mother O'Leary" had recently moved to the Windy City from St. Louis along with her cow that was housed in the barn where the fire that burned the vast majority of the city had began.

During police questioning, Mother O'Leary admitted that she was only trying to prevent the Cubs from ever winning a World Series title. History determined that she would not be successful as the Cubs actually won two World Series in 1907 and 1908 and would forever make Cardinal fans jealous of the Cubs making Cardinal fans forever obnoxious in their behavior towards the Cubbies and their fans. :-)

haven't you ever heard of time travelers. Mrs O'Leary was one of them.

actually, there is a list of all T207 cards in Bob Lemke's Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards and you would have to cross reference it with a team list. That is how I came up with my T207 Cubs list. the different backs is the challenge and there are a couple of different board members that would be a good source of this info. Think mike Frome??? and Tbob would be the experts.

Your best reference would be Tim Newcomb's work in Old Cardboard magazine. Here is a link to an overall study. His main works appeared in 2004 issues, which you might be able to find back issues from Old Cardboard or other board members.

The backs are what I really need.

You are exactly right. This is the only source that I have been able to find, Tim's work and the Old Cardboard site are invaluable for T207 information.

One thing to keep in mind on T207 backs, they either have Recruit or Napoleon backs, OR they will have Broadleaf, Cycle, Anonymous(and Red Cross). There is no crossover from the Recruit/Napoleon family to the other much tougher front/back combos.
