Not a back run... but a "front run". I made the ~~unfortunate mistake~~ pleasurable decision to try to collect all 613 Sweet Caporal factory 25s in all three series:

150s - 150 variations (not including Plank/Wagner)
350s - 394
460s - 69

Currently I have 547/613 needing 66 more cards - including 19 HOFers (3 Cobbs, 4 Youngs, 2 Wajos and 3 Mattys $$$$). I always said this would be a ten year project, but with the price of some that I'm missing, it may be a lot longer. However it is a fun project that keeps me in the game. When I find a tough factory 25 for a reasonable price, it keeps me going.

Here are the 460s, the first subset I finished. Most have been cracked for my binder.

Thank goodness for friends! It took me 9 years to complete this 3 card run. I guess not as easy as one might assume

Hi, Ted. Since you asked . . . . EPDG Hummel!! Any condition will suffice!!

This shoudln't be so hard, but it's been maddening. PSA pop report shows six copies. SGC shows four copies. It isn't like this is a Pop 1 or 2 card.

Please see my B/S/T WTB post yesterday. I'm now publicly offering stupid money for one. Any sellers? It would be my great plesaure for someone out there to gouge me!

I refer to these guys as the Exclusive 12 of the 460-only Series. This group of 12 are unique within their Series because the other subjects in the 460-only Series were
NOT PRINTED with the red HINDU back.
In 2013, I started this red HINDU run with Tannehill. I went "gung-ho" to see how quick I could get all 12 of these HINDU's. Amazingly within one month I acquired 10
of them. However, it took me over a year to finally get Sheckard.

I'm working on an off-back HOF subset and I have had a bear of a time finding the last card I need: Mordecai Brown Cubs on Shirt with a Sov or Hindu back.

If anyone happens to know of one, hit me up!

Being a Reds off back collector my toughest has always been Mowrey, being only SOV and TOLS. Lobert comes in a close second.

Hi Jon

As you know, I have been going for an ambitious master set of the 12 cards I refer to as the Exclusive 12 (460-only Series). Each of these 12 were printed with 13 backs.

Hummel is included in this group of 12. I have yet to find a Hummel with an EPDG back. My experience collecting this group of cards is that CYCLE 460, EPDG, OLD MILL
are much tougher to find than the other 9 backs. And, it is practically impossible to find a UZIT card of these 12 guys.

Anyhow, if I find an EPDG of Hummel, I will contact you. Am I guessing correctly that this card is the last one you need to complete your EPDG run ?

Also, will I see you at the Philly Show in three weeks ?

Not a player run, per se, but here's my mini Hindu "run"...

fkm_bky · #9 02-16-2022, 10:14 PM

I started the Herzog Boston run knowing I will never complete it as there is only one know example of the Uzit back. I'll have to consider it compete without it as I can't see it coming up for sale, or me wanting to pay what the asking price would be. I still love the chase. Really only tougher one's remain for me (AB460, EPDG & Cycle 460 will be very difficult to come by, but hopefully not impossible).

You smoked me out, Ted. Yes, it's the last one I need for the whole thing. ... Don't know yet about Philly, but I'm hoping to go. Will keep you posted.

HobokenJon · #11 02-17-2022, 07:23 PM

And thank you Ted for offering to help! If anyone can find an EPDG Hummel, it's you!!

Thromdog · #12 02-17-2022, 07:46 PM

I guess I have some to show too. Here�s my Dahlen run that Jay copied me on. Yeah, I said it.

I believe the Boston EPDG was my last one I needed and Scott was gracious to make a trade with me when I bought him a Hindu.

The Brooklyn Old Mill I got early on but it is the toughest of the Brooklyns but not terrible.
