I can't argue with this breakdown. I love Brown Hindus, but am always in the market for Sovereigns and Polar Bears because I can actually find them at a reasonable price.

Jay,

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for your timely one. To elaborate, I believe Brown Lenox is a legitimate back since it is (1) factory cut (not hand cut), (2) distinct from other backs (in that the brown ink is truly brown, not black) AND (3) fits a distinct 350/450 subject pattern that confirms it is legitimate.

I don’t personally own any, but have seen a few. I would hate for someone who owns one or more to have their collection devalued on false assumption. Thanks for reading my ebook and good luck with your podcast.

After listening to the podcast, I don't think someone would misconstrue the Old Mill Brown as being unimportant or not real. I took the conversation to place it more in the "Wildest Dreams" than "Not really real" category. I would certainly be interested however on thoughts about the Old Mill Blue backs found of late. I have never seen a Old Mill Brown and I often look at my Old Mill Backs and wonder how much of a difference is it in person?

There is a large difference between Old Mill Blacks and Browns. For comparison, hold an Old Mill next to a Hindu Brown. That's how different they are.

Learned a lot. Good strategy for putting together the monster~!

I tried looking for and joining the Tobacco Row FB group, but couldn't find it. Can someone point me there?

Thanks

As someone just getting into T206, I really appreciate this podcast. Keep up the good work.

Hi John,

Go to your Facebook Home Page. On the left, click on Groups. A search bar will come up. Type in "Tobacco Row" and hit enter. That should get you there.

Hi folks!

We just released Episode 8 of The Monster Podcast. We welcome former MLB pitcher Dean Kiekhefer (Cardinals, A's) for a fun discussion about his time in the big leagues, seeing himself on a baseball card for the first time, and his quest to amass the ugliest T206 sets ever with his "beater binder" project.

Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/the-monster-p...dean-kiekhefer

Or on iTunes: apple.co/2TiXCFo

Enjoy, stay safe and thanks for listening!
