Uzit goes for about 2k, Drum for about 5k. The other harder backs for around 1k or less. It sounds like you might be able to do everything but Drum. That is what I have done for my set. It would be neat to get as many different brands possible and then fill in with different series or factories for the others. You should just post on BST to see what members have. Unfortunately, I got rid of my last extras at the May Chicago show.

Good luck on a very cool endeavor - and a great way to teach delayed gratification

Ted and everyone else who contributed - thank you!

I would take Ted's list and search each of them here to see which backs they come with:

That ought to let you create some specific targets.

Good luck in the hunt!

Thank you again. Printed out a page on each pose variation and the list of different confirmed backs. Placed (probably prematurely) a post on BST and away we go.....

As a long time T206 collector, if I had to give you some advice...

Put the team set together regardless of back. Once you have assembled the entire team (sans Wagner), THEN start finding some of the various backs and switch them out. I kind of did this with my set. I bought as many players as I could to try and complete the set, then started "upgrading" the cards to nicer ones...

Excellent Idea.

I Imagine Waiting for those Rare Backs in Some Combination would be Very Very Frustrating as it would Take Forever.

This. Plus, it's an easier pill to swallow when you're upgrading at $5-20 a pop (random range depending on the back) instead of $50-70 up front (commons are around $20).

Thank you for getting your son engaged in Pre-War. Keep This Hobby Great!
