BL460 and Red Hindu connection
Ted,
To expand on your BL460 "no print" theory for cards not having a confirmed Uzit and/or AB460 B/F combo I noticed that a very large majority (over 83%) of the confirmed BL460's are cards which are also confirmed with a Red Hindu back. I am only referring to Red Hindu cards which are part of the 350/460 series with the exception of the 460-only Kleinow (Boston). As you have already pointed out the Kleinow (Boston) breaks the standard back rules.
In all the cases where a confirmed BL460 back does exist with a Uzit and/or AB460 back the player also has a confirmed Red Hindu:
Baker - Confirmed with AB460 and Red Hindu
Burch (Fielding) - Confirmed with Uzit, AB460 and Red Hindu
Cobb (Red Portrait) - Confirmed with Uzit and Red Hindu
Downey (Bat) - Confirmed with Uzit and Red Hindu
Elberfeld (Fielding) - Confirmed with AB460 and Red Hindu
O'Leary (Hands on knees) - Confirmed with AB460 and Red Hindu
Seymour (Throwing) - Confirmed with Uzit and Red Hindu
Snodgrass (Fielding) - Confirmed with AB460 and Red Hindu
Of the remaining 21 confirmed BL460 subjects which do not exist with either the AB460 or Uzit all except for 5 have been confirmed with a Red Hindu back. These 5 subjects are listed below:
Dougherty (Arm in air)
Mathewson (Dark cap)
McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chicago)
Murphy (Batting)
Rucker (Throwing)
Based on these observations it appears that Red Hindu seems to be tied closely to the BL460 back. 24 of the 29 confirmed BL460's are also confirmed with a Red Hindu back. Assuming this theory to be correct then there is a possibility the 5 players above may be confirmed with a Red Hindu back at some point.
In addition, extending this theory to the remaining "super-prints" and remaining confirmed 350/460 series Red Hindu's the following cards may also be found with BL460 at some point:
Bender (No trees)
Chase (Blue Portrait)
Chase (Dark Cap)
Cobb (Bat off) - As noted this might exist, but waiting for additional confirmation
Donlin (Bat)
Magee (Bat)
Manning (Pitch)
Pfeister (Throwing)
Wagner (Bat/Right)
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Jerry
