Aside from the Ty Cobb advertisement, the Broadleaf 460 subjects is considered the rarest T206 back. Considerably more difficult to acquire than the Broadleaf 350, (which is above Carolina Brights in rarity). The exact number in existence
today is unknown, a survey of 437,000 T206's in 1999 listed only 8. In 2001 about 6 more were found.
The Drum back is also extremely difficult to acquire. A survey of 437,000 T206's in 1999 listed only 29 . "Home Run" Baker earned his memorable nickname in
the 1911 World Series, when he hit game-winning home runs on
successive days against the Giants' future Hall of Fame pitchers
Rube Marquard and Christy Mathewson.
Next in rarity is the Uzit back. Drum had ceased production of T206 cards before Uzit even started issuing them. Most of the other manufacturer's had been issuing the cards long before Uzit and Lenox, thus their scarcity.

HOF'er Johnny Evers appears on this
rare Red Hindu. Only about 35 different players can be found today
with this back.

Hal Chase was presented with this'loving cup' by his teammates in 1908. Banned from the majors for playing in the California League in 1907, he petitioned the National Commission of Baseball and was reinstated. Here he appears on the rare Lenox obverse.

Brown print Lenox backs can also be found, these are more scarce than the black print Lenox ad.

Carolina Brights are a little easier to acquire than Broadleaf 350's

This Cycle 460 series depicts the catching version of Snodgrass. Fred played for the NY Giants, who won the NL pennant in 1911,1912, and 1913.
Between 1910-1913 Cobb hit an astonishing .385, .420, .410, and .390. From 1907-1919 Ty Cobb won a total of twelve batting titles in thirteen seasons. This has been unmatched by any other player ever to play the game!

Hindu cigarette newspaper ads show that they packaged several cards in a single pack! This brand is popular with today's collectors, especially the Southern Leaguers.

Polar Bear scrap tobacco tins also contained several T206 cards. They are often stained as they were packaged in direct contact with the tobacco.

460 series cards are generally harder to find than those with a 350 series backing.

Big Jeff Pfeffer's 6-0 no-hit game against the Redlegs on May 8, 1907 was the first one ever pitched in Boston's old Walpole Street grounds.
