Why do you collect backs?

When Leon auctioned his collection, I made sure to pick up 1, then quickly added another and then another, and well, again, I can be a bit obsessive.

Pete, as far as I am aware, the Miller is the most common red back. I am aware of 3; yours, mine and a trimmed copy.

i collect backs because they are easy to flip for huge profits.

When Leon auctioned off his amazing type collection, I was fortunate to pick up a Crofts Candy red background of Davis SGC ex, a great card in its' own right. Only red back I have.

John, I thought I saw before that you picked that up. If you ever feel like taking a little vacation, let me know

I need to update the collage and find an alternative to photobucket.....Always found EPDGs to be interesting. Sitting on 222 unique ones at this point.

To me a card is a 90/10 or 50/50.

A red Cobb I care 90% about the front. A Maddox EPDG I care 90% about the back.

But then there's a few that split like a Magee portrait Hindu. I love the front and the back about the same.....they are both important.

Hey Jeff, how many more EPDGs do you need for the complete set?

I was incorrect that I have 221, not 222. The known list according to Ted and the t206resource is 284 but I think it's actually 281. Pastorius, Hunky Shaw, and Ed Willetts no "S" are in their list but there are no records of one being sold or graded.

I don't think this is like a Drum or Uzit situation where an unknown one will show up, I just don't think they exist.

So I think I need 60 to get there but I've already surpassed my goal of 200. Not sure I will complete or not.
