The other T207 backs

Different backs

[Luke]

Nice thread, thanks for the info! Napoleons are my favorite back. If anyone ever sees anything I'm selling and has Napoleons to trade, please let me know!

Ken, that is an awesome display. For the Recruit class guys that you have 2 of, does that mean you have Napoleons as well as Recruits, or that you have a Recruit 240 and a 606?

Love this set. Still waiting on a Ward Miller to complete my set. Passed on the last two because they were too nice for me. Here's my Saier

Looking for more Cubs with Napoleon backs. Currently have Frank Chance and 1 other CUBBIE. Looking to complete the set and when done, I will have 32 cards. I am also collecting all the different factories on the backs. Have all the Saiers and missing a Ward Miller factory 25 and red cycle Miller and 5 different Napoleons missing. Napoleons are tougher than the Millers.

Ok, so drum roll time for what I am sure is a dumb/obvious question. I am getting increasingly interested in these little brown cards and have visited/bookmarked the informative links you guys have offered up (including old Net54 threads). However, how do I know which backs the Cardinals players appear on? Either in this thread or the other T207 thread Mike or someone has listed all of the T207 Cardinals and designated which would be found with Recruit backs and Broadleaf backs. How do we know that there aren't any Napoleon or Cycle backs? Not questioning expertise, just trying to understand.

The way I can make sense of this set is to collect them by team. I want to go the Cardinals first and then perhaps the Cubs. I have looked on the sites I have seen mentioned but not seeing a definitive formula regarding backs for the teams' players...or I am not smart enough to understand it. For instance, how does Ken know which Cubbies have Napoleon backs?

Ok, I think I may have answered my own questions. I got to looking on Old Cardboard again and found the checklist of the players and the backs they were printed on. Also, I followed the link that led to the cards of each team. So, between the two lists, I should have all the info I was fretting over. Right?

If you get serious about T207, you can collect the different factories on the backs.

Good point, Ken. I have definitely noticed the factories. I am going to ease into this, but there's a lot going on inside this set of cards. A team approach might well work best for me and keep me from being even less disciplined than usual.

How long have you collected T207s? Are you targeting Cubs only, or do you have a broader focus?

Hey Robert,

The Cardinals you're looking for are pretty well known (or at least mostly).

Broadleaf class - 2 cards (Lowdermilk and Woodburn), 4 backs each (Broadleaf, Cycle, Anonymous factories 3 and 25) = 8 cards

Recruit class - 12 cards (Bresnahan, Ellis, Evans, Golden, Harmon, Konetchy, Oakes, Smith (W), Steele, Steinfeldt, Wilie, Wingo), 3 backs each (Recruit Fac 240 and 606, + Napoleon) = 36 cards.

Add to that the 2 known Anon 3 recruits (Steele, Wingo) and the 1 Red Cross (Lowdermilk) and you have 47 cards.

[This may have been answered this on a previous post for the Cardinals (like for the Cubs for Ken), if so, my apologies.]

Thanks, Mike! Very helpful information. It should be fun finding these.
