Question On Chick Gandil Backs

[tedzan]

Red HINDU is not the toughest for Gandil. In fact there was a red HINDU Gandil on ebay for weeks that was removed from the listing last night.

Actually, a tougher back than red HINDU on Gandil is the OLD MILL.

And, though Gandil with a UZIT back is theoretically possible, it has not been confirmed yet. This front/back combo would be the toughest.

Hey Ted,
This front-back combo is also pretty tough. Oh wait, this isn't a T206!

As a "back" collector it doesn't get more sweet!!

Interesting that the Old Mill is tougher than the Red Hindu. Any idea how many of the Old Mills are confirmed? I picked up a EPDG about a year ago that one seems to be a tough one as I haven't seen many of those listed on Ebay or here. I've got the polar bear and piedmont in addition to that one. I did see that Red Hindu on Ebay it was out there for a while. I want to say the person was asking in the $1500-1700 range and I think it was a 2 grade. I could be wrong on that. What do you think a Red Hindu Gandil low grade say 1.5-3 should go for? What about the Old Mill in similar?

SGC's pop report regarding Gandil indicates 4 red HINDU's and only one OLD MILL.

I don't have PSA's data for this situation.


The recent ebay listing of the PSA2 red HINDU Gandil was $1750.

I acquired this red HINDU Gandil a year ago in a cash/trade deal that totaled $2200. One OLD MILL Gandil went for approx. $4K in an auction this past year.
