Long hidden in the shadow of its T206 cousins the T205 issue actually features many similarities along with arguably a more beautiful (and condition-sensitive) design. Seventeen different back possibilities (not including blank backs) make front/back collecting fun and the difficulty of the Drum Hindu and Broadleaf backs make "back run" collecting a challenge. Presented here is the beginning of a "back run"; comprised of eight attractive cards from the issue featuring eight different backs. Each graded by SGC the run includes American Beauty (black and green) Hassan (factory 30 and 649) Honest Long Cut Polar Bear Sovereign and Sweet Caporal reverses. A breakdown of the cards is as follows: American Beauty Black- Harry Wolter (SGC VG 40); American Beauty Green - Rube Oldring (SGC EX+ 70); Hassan Cigarettes Factory 30 - Thomas Jones (SGC EX/NM 80); Hassan Cigarettes Factory 649 - Wyatt Lee (Minor Leaguer SGC VG 40); Honest Long Cut - James Austin (SGC VG/EX 50); Polar Bear - Fred Beck (SGC VG/EX 50); Sovereign - George Stone (SGC VG/EX 50); Sweet Caporal Red - James Austin (SGC VG 40). A beautiful group of T205s including a tougher minor leaguer representing nearly half the possible back varieties.
