One more interesting configuration involves the Exclusive 12 with the
SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #42 backs. Similar to the
red HINDU situation (see Post #1),
these 12 subjects are the only cards in the 460-Only series (48 subjects) that were printed with the
SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #42 back (no overprint).
Perhaps, the
red HINDU and the
SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #42 backs were concurrently printed on sheets of the Exclusive 12 cards. If so, then the printer
did not have the extra task of changing the ink color (RED) on his printing press to print these backs. It's possible, and this could provide us a timeline of when
the
red HINDU cards were printed.
