Baby Got "Backs" T206

[Leon]

Congrats John. As of this moment (and I reserve the right to change my mind) I don't think the Ty Cobb back is part of T206. Even though I have been a staunch supporter of Burdick's writings, the more I study him, the more I know HE KNEW there were mistakes and wanted help correcting them. I think I could go with a type 1 set of backs that has all that were inserted into packs/containers and then a type 2 back set including the anomalies. The Type 2 being the master set but not necessary to consider the subset complete. As I said, I could change my mind but those are my current thoughts. Great looking backs you have there!!

John,

That is a great accomplishment. They look very impressive when they are all in one photo.

Why not add the Ty Cobb back. That way there will be no doubt that you have completed the entire set of backs.

Congrats again,
Tony

as hotly debated and disputed as it is...the cobb/cobb would be a great feather to this tremendous backs run (blank/brown OM is a given).

also, someone verify this asap before wonka sells it off to start another "challenge".

Great run John. And now I know why the brown Lenox sold for such an ungodly price- it was the last one you needed.

What about the Old Mill overprint back? Are any of them real, or are they now all considered fake?

And while I also feel the Cobb back is not needed for the run...it still wouldn't look bad if it were included.

A "Coupon" (MILD) Cigarettes back sure would look nice in that empty slot...

Most Old Mill - Brown examples have a clean back and didn't receive any other overprints. A few surviving examples have the Factory 649 overprint and Leon's is an Old Mill - Brown that was overprinted with several other brands.

Coolest part of that project is the patience it must have taken. Managing that project with everything else that takes a bite out of the budget. Cool run.
