Default How rare are the OLD MILL cards of the T206 "Exclusive 12" of the 460-only series ?

Most T206 collectors do not consider the OLD MILL back to be that tough in the general ranking order of the various Tobacco advertising backs.

Sure, we have proven that these Exclusive 12 subjects are quite available with PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, SWEET CAP, POLAR BEAR, and even the
availability of the tough AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 backs. Furthermore, these 12 are more available with the rare Red HINDU back than the other 31
subjects printed with this back.




Now, while these 3 cards are not pretty looking, I challenge anyone to try and find them....or any of the other nine Exclusive 12 subjects....
in any condition with OLD MILL backs. Incidently, all 12 subjects have been confirmed with the OLD MILL back.

.



The point here that is being emphasized is that certain series of T206 subjects do not always conform to the general pattern applicable to most
T206 subjects. And, with these 12 guys, it's the OLD MILL back.

These 3 cards are from a recent find of an original collection in Northern California, which included a group of T206 OLD MILL cards.


So, show or tell us of your Exclusive 12 cards with OLD MILL backs. Or, just chime in with your experiences and/or questions regarding this subject.
