Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Turner- there was a time many years ago when the Hindus were virtually unknown and were by far the rarest T205 back. Today, however, the Drum is considered the rarest. <br /><br />A job well done!

Posted By: <b>Turner Engle</b><p>Thanks for the kind words. This summer at National in Cleveland we will be having the entire set graded by SGC. After that, we will probably have to upgrade a few that will come back authentic. <br /><br />We are still looking for the elusive Hobby No stats and the Wilhelm "suffered" variation. <br /><br />The last card that we picked up was the Joshua Devore Hindu from a good friend who we have never met, Shawn Adkins. <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Turner Engle<br />mengle2@insight.rr.com

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Turner,<br /><br />Congrats...I am still looking for an "affordable" Drum back. I see you have the basic back set but do you have the color and factory variations as well?<br /><br />Joshua<br /><br />PS Shawn is a great guy and extremely knowledgeable about t205s.

Posted By: <b>Ed Hans</b><p>Turner,<br /> Congrats on your back set. I wonder if Devore is the only subject with two Hindu backs known. What are the odds?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.thecybersource.com/~edhans/hindufront.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Now I'm impressed with that. Kinda makes me want to do the same thing.<br /><br />"quite some time" translates to how long??<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Frank.

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>Devore is not the only know T205 hindu with two examples known...I have seen two different Devlins and two different Engles with Hindu backs. The odds are small...in fact, I would venture to guess that there is only two print runs of the Hindu back. I would also say that the Drum back is only a single or double printing as well. I have yet to see a Drum back repeated.<br /><br />Frank...it can be done. I am missing just a Drum for a master set of backs. Hindus come up about 2-3 times a year. Drums about 1 every 2 years. I put together the basic back set in about two years but I was lucky to find a hindu at a show for cheap.<br /><br />BTW, Turner...I forgot one more back in the list I sent you...there is a blank back version. I own three different ones. They are truly blank and not skinned. Very tough.<br /><br />Joshua
