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

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

My understanding (and others on this forum) is that the PSA4 red Cobb/red HINDU has no history prior
to 1999. So tell us, when did you have this card and was it ungraded ?

The numerous T206 re-backed cards in 1999-2000 era that were graded by PSA and SGC were very profes-
sionally re-backed. Once they were encapsulated, there is virtually no way of detecting that these cards
were altered.
Most of us "dinosaurs" on this forum, who have collected T206's since the 1970's, have never seen any
of the 4 - T206 Cobb's with a Brown or Red HINDU backs, much less this one....have you ? ?

Since you say that this card goes back to the mid-1980's, I am very interested in hearing the details of
this card.

Thanks,
