" It's A (Net54) Family Affair "....in completing red HINDU Exclusive 12 sub-set

[tedzan]

The title from Sly and the Family Stone's popular 1971 song best describes this mission. In September 2013, I acquired Doc Crandall with a red HINDU back from
Scott and Leon's auction. Since I already had the Tannehill / red HINDU card, I was motivated to try to see how quick I could complete the 12 subjects that I had
designated as the " Exclusive 12 ". In a prior thread, I made a claim that these 12 guys are considerably easier to find with this very scarce red HINDU back than
the other 31 confirmed red HINDU subjects.

As is evident in the following timeline, in 2 months with the help from my friends on Net54, I had acquired 10 of these 12 red HINDU cards. OK, this was too easy.
Certainly easier than I expected. But, I soon realized.... "It Don't Come Easy" (Ringo Starr, 1971). It took 19 months from when I first started this adventure till I
finally acquired the elusive 12th red HINDU....Jimmy Sheckard.

These 12 guys are the only HINDU cards that were printed in the T206 set's last Series, which comprises of 48 cards that were printed ONLY with 460-type backs.

Nicely done Ted, stoked you got the Sheckard!!

I've only seen one other complete run of these, not an easy or cheap task. Congrats.

[DerekMichael]

Wow Ted. You did it! That is wonderful.

No need for thanks. After all, "thats what friends are forrrrrrrr"

It is funny you mention Sly and the Family Stone. In 1971, my Dad was working for a collections agency, and my Mom was for working for the company that managed Sly and the Family Stone. I cannot recall the name of the management group or the venue that this took place, but after a big gig, the band decided to relive the venue of some of their equipment. It was my Dad's job to retrieve it, and after being passed around by this management group via phone he ends up meeting a young lady named Athena on the other end of the line. They got to talking, long story very, very short, they were married three months later and still are today.

I always get a fuzzy feeling when I hear that band mentioned. Ringo too, because hell, he is a Beatle!

This is a seriously great accomplishment Ted. You have done some really amazing work on these 12 subjects you refer to as the "Exclusive 12". I am not sure if you want to post them in this thread, but I would love to also see your Sovereign 460 and American Beauty 460 Exclusive 12 sets as well.

The Monster can require a great deal of dedication, and it is always fun to see someone complete one of their missions.

Συγχαρητήρια !!!

Derek

[wolf441]

Congratulations Ted!! Glad to see you get to the finish line. It's been fun watching your progress!! Another reason why this is the best board on the net!!

[Sean]

Excellent Ted. Now lets hear more about the "Exclusive 12" Sovereign 460 subset.

[slipk1068]

Very cool subset. Congrats

I'd love a lesson about these 12 cards. Tougher or easier in El Principe? Tolstoi? Sovereign? Piedmont 42?

Thanks, good buddy.

My next adventure continues with these 12 guys on a tougher challenge than these red HINDU's. Completing an OLD MILL run.

To date, I'm only 1/3 of the way to the finish line............






They ain't too pretty; anyway, I take them any way I can get them. Trust me guys, these dudes are extremely tough to find.
