Just wondering what the current value/rarity level of T205 Hindu backs is.

I just picked up a raw Jake Stahl that would grade a 1 due to heavy creasing.

No idea on the value...but how cool is it to see a 12 year old post from Leon in the early stages of his "type" collection??!!

Nice find. Any T205 Hindu is worth getting if you can. I have seen 1 or 2 for sale on this site for a heavy price, never on eBay in the year or so I have been looking.

I haven't really seen anywhere that tracks T205 by back - would love to know the answer to your question as well - and for Drum.

Someone posted a real nice Walter Johnson Hindu some time ago - sweetest card in the set, IMO.

Hindus tend to be rather strong. They are one the rarest tobacco advertising in the t205 set. I would love to see a scan of your Stahl. It is a previously unknown front back combo. It fits the matrix of backs though and should command a nice price at auction. Prices for Hindus have been all over the place for low grade (1's/10s) from $250 to $650...it really is what some one will pay for it. They come up a few times a year. Depending on condition I might be able to give you a better price point for it.

I feel a low grade Hindu is more in the 1k+ range. It is the toughest of all the T205 backs.

Cory,
I do not feel that is bourne out by any sales lately...most recent sales I have found for 1s/10s (in the past few years) put them far less than $1000...it is the rarest back (other than blank backs) but unless it is higher grade, it should not command that price. But, of course, who knows, it always ends up being worth what someone is willing to pay...

a 3 traded for $1,500 at the National, a bit weak back printing but a 3 none the less. It is by far the toughest T205 back and many seem to need the card, but due to lack of pricing don't feel comfortable paying the full value. A nicer 3 would have probably been $1,800 or so. A 4 was offered in the mid 2's and several offers of 2k+/- were declined by the seller, it had a very strong back.

Joshua,
I would buy any/all graded 1s at at least 500-600 each. Hindu or Drum. Hindu being more desirable. PM me if anyone has any. This is only because I am confident that folks would being to pay 1k.
