Does anyone have info on the backs--which are scarcest to most common. I'm looking at starting the set

...there is a Hindu back for auction right now at http://www.grandslambids.com The back looks nice but the card has lots of creasing....it won't be cheap but you rarely see them for sale...Here ya go from rarest to most common.....(the bottom group could be switched around a little but it's pretty close)


Backs that command the highest premiums:

1) Hindu (I've always been a believer that the Hindu is tougher than the Drum)
2) Drum
3) Broad Leaf (Green or Black; about the same in terms of rarity)


Backs that command a very small premium, and in some cases, no premium:

4) American Beauty
5) Cycle
6) Piedmont 42 (Much, much easier to find than a T206 Piedmont 42)


Backs that command no premium:

7) Hassan
8) Honest
9) Piedmont 25
10) Polar Bear
11) Sovereign
12) Sweet Caporal
