Easiest and hardest backruns?

[Rhotchkiss]

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)

[ValKehl]

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!

[asphaltman]

That's really impressive Todd

Aren't the orange background E94 and red backed E92 Croft's Candy all 1-of-1 cards? If so, anyone with one of those poses would be at the top of the list.

OK, here is my complete run of the McGraw (glove) cards. Exactly 13 - T206 backs were printed on each of the Exclusive 12 subjects in the 460-only series.
I'm attempting to complete the run on all the Exclusive 12 subjects (12 x 13 backs = 156 cards). Wish me lot's of luck, I'll need it


Only UZIT known with this McGraw

Most of the known red crofts are not 1 of 1. Here's the list of all red crofts I know about.

- Barry x2 - SGC A, SGC 10
- Bemis - SGC A
- Bescher x3 - SGC 50, SGC A, raw
- Crawford x2 - SGC 20, SGC 10
- Donovan - SGC 10
- Davis x3 - SGC 60, SGC 50, SGC 30 (Lionel Carter)
- Evers - SGC 80
- Miller (fielding) x3 - SGC 40, SGC 40, was PSA A
- Shean - SGC 10

This is very impressive, well done Todd!!

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.

Hi Ted, Is there a Cycle 460? I've got a raw 350 that will either grade a 5 or Authentic/Trim. I was watching David's Red Hindu but stopped watching once it got over $4000. I miss the 2010 prices from when I started this collection. I can't even imagine the stuff you have seen over the years.

Hi Ron

Yes, there is a CYCLE 460 blue Chase. It is not an easy card to find. I just realized that I show two CYCLE 350 Chase cards. My mistake.

I could spend hours telling you of unbelievable deals I've had (or have seen). But, it's late, so here's one I'll never forget….in the early 1980's at the good ole Willow Grove Show,
you could buy a VgEx to Ex T206 DRUM card for only $100 each ! !

Anyhow, speaking about DRUM's. Of the six-Super-Prints, Chance, Cobb, and Evers have been confirmed with DRUM backs. So, why NO blue Chase with a DRUM ?


Ron.....are you going to the National ?
