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

[caramelcard]

Hey John,

Yeah, that does help. I wasn't aware that Ted had a Chase/Red Hindu.

Lucky guy!

Anyways, I was just trying to make the simple point that just cuz we haven't seen more than one...

I'm not familiar with Moser. I'll search back posts on him. I had no reason to doubt the collector who initially brought the red cobb/red hindu and bat on/brown hindu to the board.

As far as whether or not a rebacker would use a hofer? I think the main thing (if we use what we've seen as evidence) the rebacker goes for is recognizable subjects that are mid grade examples (like yours ).

I guess if I was a rebacker, I'd try to put more than one example of a front/back combo into the hobby. Ok we're giving them way too many ideas now.

By the way, not to digress too much out of the red hindu zone, but what were you saying here?

"One would think we would see at least one other in all these years somewhere..heck even during my Murphy quest I found 3 BL460's examples in fact in BL460 there are many cards that have many examples even a single Cobb Red BL460."

Was the Cobb Red BL 460 suspect as well?

here is another Chase

I have also seen a few Young and Klienow reds over the years-I will try and find a auction result.

Thanks Jim,

What do you think?
Are you convinced that all four Cobbs are impossible with hindu backs?


We need to revisit the blue 7C or FC crayon on the backs of hindus as well. There's so many of them, it must be significant in some way.

john-
that cobb is stunning!
what can you share about it's history?
*i had never seen one before...
thank you for sharing that quality scan!

I will try and tell this the best I can.

In the late 90s there was a Donovan Drum that was a part of a group of 10 tough backed 206s that was auctioned by one of the larger auction houses of that time. Later these cards appeared on ebay except for the Donovan. The Donovan never showed up.

Later the Cobb Drum in question was proven rebacked by the scan that was kept of the Donovan. The Cobb Drum had the identical back as the Donovan Drum. Not 100% sure what happened next but I am 100% sure that Donovans back is on Cobb.

This was when the rebacking was brought to light in the hobby. It had been going on for some time and still does.



Robert- first let me say Cobb bat on and green is a possible combo and should exist with Hindu brown.

that said-
I am on the fence with the Cobb Hindu-I have only seen one example each of the browns and only one red also.

I would really like to own one but I have never seen one for sale or auctioned except the red in REA. I would think as a collecting group we should be able to come up with more than one brown Hindu Cobb. Hindu brown is not that difficult and that makes me think we should be able to account for more than one example each.
I can buy one red because they are so much tougher but not just one brown. But who knows maybe a hobby pioneer hoarded these up before us newbies came along

Nice Wheat/red HINDU....thanks for posting it, Jim. Wheat is one of my favorite T206's.


Another T206 challenge, pairing same players with their Brown and Red HINDU cards.






Hey guys, let's see some more red HINDU cards. So far, only 9 (of 40) are on display here.

That accounts for 4 red HINDU's of CYoung. And, there is at least 3 known Johnson's.

Hey guys, consider this....how many red HINDU cards were destroyed by those nasty dudes,
who were re-backing T206's these past 12 years ? ?

Best regards ole buddy,

The BL460 Cobb I feel is legit...it's in an SGC 80 holder now...LOL (Not mine)
