Toughest 20th Century tobacco issue advertising back

Not technically tobacco but what about JuJu Drums - I feel like these do not come up for sale too often... Likewise AWA and AWH. Again, not tobacco, but 20th century advertising backs nonetheless

If we go into backs other than tobacco, even for just pre-war baseball, we can find quite a few that are really rare. E286's are rare but I doubt they make the top 20 overall (including the tobacco ones), imo. regards

Hi Leon-

Just wondering-That Frank Baker T231 is awesome!!When I look up this T231 in Lew's book,it says the only known T231 was of Carson Bigbee.
I know the book is decades old,but am just wondering if there was a "find" of these cards,or have maybe only "a couple" of them popped up in recent years?

BTW,you are very Luckey to have that card

Sincerely,Clayton

I actually got my T231 from Lew several years ago but much after he wrote/published the Encyclopedia. It is the 2nd one known other than a photocopy of the Bigbee. I am also told there is another one in the hobby but have not confirmed it. It is from a reliable source but there is always a small chance he could be mistaking about having it.

That T231 is a sweet card. With any luck a little old lady will find one in a book somewhere, get on Leno, hype it up and auction it off for 100k !

Thanks Leon-

What's really cool about that Baker T231 is that with the Bigbee only being a photocopy,and the other one not really being confirmed yet,you may have the ONLY one in existance,that is actually confirmed.

The Bigbee may not even still be around..............

At any rate-to have this card,and it being Frank Baker to top it off.....WOW!!!

Sincerely,Clayton
