T206 UZIT show & tell....let's see these "blue gems"

[Abravefan11]

Hi Craig – The reason there are only 12 possible subjects has a simple answer but the underlying factors of how it came to be only 12 are much more complex.

The simple way of looking at it is there are 46 possible red Hindu subjects. They consist of 28 subjects from the commonly referred to 350-460 Series, 12 from the 460 Only Series and the 6 super prints. Other than the 12 460 Only subjects the other 34 were not printed with Uzit backs.

Red Hindu Possible
28 - 350-460 (Uzit No Print)
6 - Super Print (Uzit No Print)
12 - 460 Only (Uzit Possible)

The Uzit subjects possible consist of 29 350-460 subjects and 46 460 Only subjects. All of the 350-460 and 34 of the 460 Only were not printed with red Hindu. Only the 12 that were printed with red Hindu are also possible with Uzit.

Uzit Possible
29 - 350-460 (Red Hindu No Print)
34 - 460 Only (Red Hindu No Print)
12 - 460 Only (Red Hindu Possible)

The composition of these two back sets puts these 12 subjects in a unique group that are possible with both red Hindu and Uzit backs.

I hope that helps and let me know if I need to clarify anything.
