Love Obaks. Own about 100 of them. Wonderful little pieces of art work and just as old as the t206s.

I aspire to reach that 100 mark. Will be a fun journey!

I'm reviving this thread after two months to post the one Obak article I didn't post the first time, because I didn't have that issue of Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector. Now I do, so here is the article, "Obak Backs Revisited" by Jeff Obermeyer. It's from the March/April 2001 issue of VCBC, and is a sequel to Obermeyer's article on 1910 Obak backs from the February 2000 issue, updated with new data from readers. The heart of the article is a master checklist showing which slogans are known with each of the 175 players in the set, and how many players are known with each slogan.

Thanks for posting this. I am going to have to look and see if this is one of the issues I picked up. Either way, I have this info now thanks to you. I am up to about 30 1910 Obaks so far.
