Any back run I am working on is the hardest. Everything else is easy!

I think the E92 & friends can be real hard bc, as DJ mentioned, you have Nadja, and blank, and blue/black/maybe red crofts, T216s that could include all 3 Kotton back variations, MINO, and VE (which is as hard as anything), Tango eggs, Mothers bread, etc. I mean Crofts Cocoa is cake when compared to some of these, and forget the E105, E106, E101, E102, Dockman, and whatever else I forgot.

Here is a link to my Wagner throwing and bat off back runs, still very much works in progress. And I am softly attempting the same folly with Cobb on bat, but as DJ mentioned, that is nuts.

Another very underated back run would be the Joe Jackson M101-4/5. Altoona, Homes to Holmes, Successful Farming, etc. That would be crazy hard.

And, yes, the Super 6 in T206 would be rough -- I am almost done with Evers Yellow Sky (eslewhere in that link).

Of course, a T206 Wagner or Plank run would be awesome. Not many in the run, but not many period.

Ryan, a M101-4/5 back run of ANY player, not just Joe Jax, "would be crazy hard." I have WaJo with a few different backs, but I have a long, long way to go.

Agreed. Maybe Jay will grace us with his Wagner run again. I have a 12-back run of a much less noteworthy player--Tillie Walker: (blank back excluded--Ill add it to the scan later)

Wow Todd, that is a great back run! You have some of the real M101 toughies, not that I'm telling you anything that you don't already know. Congrats!

Default Hal Chase run......

One of my favorite ballplayers from the New York Highlanders era is Hal Chase. I started this run in 1981 by acquiring this OLD MILL card. This run is nearly complete.
I do have a SWEET CAPORAL 350 Factory #25; however, I cannot find it. And, as of today, no Blue Chase with a DRUM back is known. Perhaps, it's a No-Print.
Of these 20 backs, the Chase with the BROAD LEAF 350 is the most difficult back to find. Followed by the LENOX card, and the red HINDU.
