Unlike the T206 issue where the "Broadleaf" name is among the most rare of all the advertising backs and "Cycle" is tough but not impossible the T207 issue is in a way the opposite. The T207 issue is actually two different groups of cards; one group of 150 cards can only feature Recruit Napoleon or anonymous backs the other group of 50 cards can only feature Broadleaf Cycle Anonymous or Red Cross. Of the "Broadleaf/Cycle" category of cards the Broadleaf back is the more common responsible for approximately half the population of cards within this print group of 50 cards. This card of the Tigers' George Moriarty then discovered 50 years ago in a trash dumpster by a young Philadelphia-area boy who had the presence of mind to save the cards for 50 years though he was never a collector is quite a find - graded VG/EX+ 55 by SGC a rare card that was actually discarded by its owner 50 years ago.
