I would start with Wagner with a Sweet Caporal back. The Piedmont version will be too expensive.

Default Thank you for all the responses so far

So let me clarify:

1 - Until I hit the lottery Wagner will be missing from the collection
2 - I want a single copy of all the front pose variations and I want the whole collection to be different backs in the most budget conscious way possible. I do not want 1 of each back possible. So for example:

Clarke Portrait - Sweet Cap
Clarke batting - piedmont
Dots Miller - polar bear

etc.

So, to continue:
What would be the checklist of all pirates front pose variations and then what would be the most cost effective backs (with the understanding that I prefer no duplication of backs) to get them (ie. least expensive player with most expensive back, most expensive player with least expensive back - I would think - but that's why I am asking you - because I know it doesn't always go that way). No Wagner and if it requires a front back combo that is cost prohibitive, then the constraints may change, but let's see what it is.... Thanks again. Based on what T206 guy offered - let's call different factories - "different backs" for purposes of this collection.

Howard

After Wagner, Clarke and Willis are your most expensive cards, so you would want to get them in the easiest backs, Sweet Caporal and Piedmont. After that, i would just look for Pirates in the particular back and buy them. For example, I had a Camnitz in an Old Mill back, which is an easier back, but I could only find a couple of sales.

T206 resource has checklists. There are 18 players besides Wagner. From there you should be able to look on there to find possible backs and figure out which backs you want to go for, sounds like you don't want to pay 4 figures for Drum or Uzit. PSA has their data base of completed auctions, so you can get an idea of cost for different grades. It is not just easy to say I want player A in back B because you may be waiting years for that card to come up for sale.

Default Thank you Floyd

I will start making my list and checking it twice. Don't mind one or two low 4 figure cards - need some special ones for the kids you know
