T206 Ames survey....AB 460....BL 460....red HINDU....UZIT

[tedzan]

This 350/460 series Ames card is an elusive guy. I've searched for an American Beauty 460 card of this Ames for the past 7 years....but no luck.
I do not know of anyone who has (or has seen) this front/back combo....and, I have checked with a good number of T206 collectors.

Recently, this Ames was confirmed with a Sweet Caporal 350-460, Factory #42 back. My research indicates that the 31 subjects in the 350/460
series, and the 12 subjects in the 460-only series printed with this Sweet Cap back were also printed with the red HINDU backs. Therefore, I'm
curious if any Net54er has (or has seen) this Ames with a red HINDU back ?
If so, then this would suggest that Ames was never printed with an AB 460 back. And, I have been on a "wild-goose" chase all these years

Furthermore, does anyone on this forum have (or have seen) this Ames with a Broad Leaf 460 or UZIT back ?

I really appreciate your inputs on this subject. The first one that helps me solve this Ames mystery will be rewarded with a T206 HOFer.

Well, well....does the lack of any responses here suggest that this Ames card(s) with any of these tough backs do not really exist ? ?

The Monster can play tricks with us....but, I find that these possible no-prints very puzzling.


Please chime in if you can add anything to this mystery. And remember that I will reward the first one that helps me solve this Ames
mystery with a T206 HOFer.

The PIEDMONT 460/42 is not in the mix of AB 460....BL 460....red HINDU....UZIT interrelationship.

However, thanks for your input.

Regarding this Ames with the American Beauty 460 or the UZIT backs, no one here has yet to produce actual examples
of either of these two backs on this Ames card.

Therefore, until (and if) the above occurs, I expect Ames with a red HINDU will eventually surface....since Ames has been
confirmed with Sweet Caporal 350-460 Factory 42. These two backs have proven to be mutually related.

Hi Ted according to a checklist I have and not sure if you referenced which version of the Red Ames but the Hands Above Head does NOT have:

ABF 350, Drum, BL460, Br Len, or Red Hindu.
