Default ALERT....Re-fronted (re-backed) Green Cobb with a Red HINDU back at the National

OK.....since this thread has switched tracks from the Green Cobb line to the Red Cobb line, I am reprising the previous discussion regarding this Red Cobb
that was posted in a Jan 2010 thread. Check it out......

Where have all the Cobb HINDU's gone.....?

I have not accepted this red Cobb/red HINDU card as an original T206 from the first time I've seen it. It's provenance cannot be traced prior to circa mid-
to-late 1990's (the period of time when re-fronted T206 cards first surfaced).
I have collected 1000's of T206's, have seen at least another 50,000 T206's since 1981....but, no red HINDU Cobb. Sure, you can say that my T206 expe-
rience is anecdotal; however, multiply it by dozens of other "dinosaur" T206 collectors like me and none of us can account for such a card.

Incidently, here is my first red HINDU card of 6 that I have owned. I acquired this Donlin back in the 1980's.

POST SCRIPT....in the past year I have been privy to certain inside info regarding this red HINDU red Cobb card which further reinforces my skepticism of it.
