Default ALERT....Re-fronted (re-backed) Green Cobb with a Red HINDU back at the National
I have received a couple of emails asking why this green Cobb / red HINDU front/back combination is impossible ?

The Green Cobb was printed in the very 1st Series of T206's. The "150 Subjects" backs circa Summer of 1909. And,
was printed circa Fall/Winter of 1909 with its "350 Subjects" backs. Therefore, it is classified as a 150/350 subject.

The Red HINDU cards were printed circa Winter of 1910 (or early 1911) and only include subjects from the 350/460
series and the 460-only series subjects.

Therefore, based on these timelines a green Cobb / red HINDU card is an impossible printing.


Here is a link to a previous Net54 (Jan 2005) discussion on this subject......
