List of known Red HINDU's....can you add any new ones ?

[tedzan]

Prior to utter chaos sidetracking this thread, I asked this thought-provoking question......

Why did American Lithographic Co. use RED ink to print these HINDU cards ?

The subsequent HINDU T205 cards are printed with Brown ink.

Let's hear some interesting ideas regarding this question.

This is just a guess-could they have just completed a Sweet Caporal back run,changed the plates to do a Hindu run,and forgot to change the ink?

Hi Ted,

T205s and many other issues like T59s show us multiple colors being used for the same brand in different series'.

I've have thought the same as you....but, on closer observation, comparing the red printing between quite a number
of Sweet Cap and red Hindu cards, there appears to be a slight difference in these red inks.

Two of my favorite T206 cards...."Turkey Mike" Donlin was an unusual BB player, who batted .333
in his on/off 12 year career. Who knows what Donlin would have achieved, had he focused on BB,
rather than acting. He had New York city as his "stage".







Hey guys, post your Red HINDU's....perhaps we will see a new one to add to the confirmed list.

Ted-
The PSA 4 Red Hindu Cobb is very real. I had the card in my possession for weeks and looked at it daily. My understanding is the card was owned by a member as early as mid 80's. Trust me, that card is authentic and spectacular! Dan
