List of known Red HINDU's....can you add any new ones ?
Several email requests have motivated me to reprise my T206 information regarding Red HINDU cards.
The Red HINDU cards were printed and issued in Winter of 1910 (and very early 1911). It appears that the 350/460 series Red HINDU cards were printed as "matched pairs" with the BROAD LEAF 460 cards, since these two scarce T206 backs have in common identical fronts. Did you know that the Red HINDU's were virtually unknown when Bill Heitman published his book, "The Monster" in 1980 ? Bill noted that only 6 cards were known. They are indeed very rare.....in my opinion, almost as rare as the BROAD LEAF 460 cards. So let us see your Red HINDU's. All posts are welcome regarding Red HINDU cards....and, certainly any questions that you may have. Example of 350/460 series card with Red HINDU back........ 28 confirmed Red HINDU cards in the 350/460 series (of a possible 57) Baker Bender (no trees) M. Brown (Chicago) Chance (portrait-yellow) Chase (blue) Chase (dark cap) Davis (A's) Donlin (bat) Doolan (bat) Downey (bat) Larry Doyle (bat) Elberfeld (Washington-fielding) Evers (Chicago-yellow sky) Griffith (bat) Johnson (pitching) Joss (pitching) Kleinow (Boston) Konetchy (glove low) Magee (bat) O'Leary (hands at knees) Rucker (throwing) Seymour (throwing) Snodgrass (fielding) Stahl (glove) Street (fielding) Sweeney (New York) Willis (throwing) CYoung (glove) Example of 460-only series card with Red HINDU back........ 12 confirmed Red HINDU cards in the 460-only series (of a possible 46) Crandall (cap) Devore Duffy Ford Gandil Geyer Hummell McGraw (glove hip) Pfeffer Sheckard (glove) Tannehill (Chicago) Wheat The 40 cards listed here are accurate as of 4/19/10....if anyone on Net54 can confirm any more Red HINDU cards....please post your input here, or email me at ...... tedzan11@comcat.net Thank you, TED Z Last edited by tedzan; 04-30-2010 at 06:58 AM. |

Ted, although its widely accepted that Uzit is tougher than RH, in your best estimation, how far apart are they in actuality? Would you say 2-1? 3-1? 4-1?

Well, considering that 60 subjects with UZIT backs have been confirmed to date, while just 40 subjects
with Red HINDU backs have been confirmed, I would say the availabilty of these 2 backs is comparable. TED Z |

That brings me to yet another question Ted. I often see you basing the relative scarcity of different backs as a function of how many confirmed subjects can be found on each. This would only be accurate if the actual print runs of the 2 different backs were identical, correct? For example, lets assume there are 60 known subjects with Uzit backs, and 40 or so known subjects with RH backs. If there were 100 of each of those Uzit players printed, and 300 of each of the RH's printed, obviously a random RH back would be far more common than an Uzit back. Does my reasoning make any sense to you?

Ted
The seymour throwing is on your list as confirmed red hindus. I have never seen one, seen a sale of one, or heard of someone who says they own one. Can you confirm how you know the seymour throwing has the Red Hindu back?
