The mysterious nature of the Red HINDU cards
* * * * * * * * * * * * * T206 Reference, Theory's, Surveys, etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Back in 1980, when Bill Heitman published his famous book "the Monster", red HINDU cards very virtually unknown. The red HINDU back is not mentioned in "The Monster". My understanding is that only a half a dozen of these very rare cards were known back in the 1970's, and T206 collectors did not really know what to make of them. Since then, red HINDU cards have "trickled out of the woodwork". In recent years, a find of 13 red HINDU cards occurred in Texas. Ten of these 13 cards are subjects in the 460-only series Exclusive 12 group. The red HINDU's in the 350/460 series are considerably more difficult to find than the Exclusive 12 guys with red HINDU. For you rare back collectors here are factors (rules) to keep in mind when you are chasing after certain T206 front/back combos...... In the 350/460 series......the red HINDU cards are "matched pairs" with the BROAD LEAF 460 cards (printed circa..late 1910). Furthermore, T206's with these backs are mutually-exclusive with AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and UZIT cards (printed early 1911). This hypothesis was first presented on this forum in April 2010 in this fascinating thread.... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...=122474&page=2 This mutually-exclusive factor is the result of American Lithographic dividing the 63 subjects in the 350/460 series into 2 print groups (at the end of their T206 production. Circa..late 1910 > early 1911. I have designated these 2 print groups as Group A and Group B. The red HINDU's and BROAD LEAF 460 backs were printed on these subjects in Group A. Group A . Checklist…...total = 44 To date, 32 subjects have been confirmed with the red HINDU back in the 350/460 series. Baker Bender (no trees) M. Brown (Chicago) Chance (portrait-yellow) Chase (blue) Chase (dark cap) Cobb (red portrait) Davis (A's) Donlin (bat) Doolan (bat) Dougherty (arm in air) Downey (bat) Larry Doyle (bat) Elberfeld (Washington-fielding) Evers (Chicago-yellow sky) Griffith (bat) Johnson (pitching) Joss (pitching) Kleinow (Boston) Konetchy (glove low) Magee (bat) McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chicago) Murphy (batting) O'Leary (hands on knees) Rucker (throwing) Seymour (throwing) Snodgrass (catching) Stahl (glove) Street (fielding) Sweeney (fielding) Willis (throwing) CYoung (glove) The following 3 subjects have yet to be confirmed with the red HINDU back. I expect all three will eventually be found. Ames (hands above head) Mathewson (dark cap) Reulbach (no glove) 460-only series......Exclusive 12 These 12 confirmed subjects are the only red HINDU cards in the 460-only series. Furthermore, these 12 are definitely more available with the red HINDU back than the above listed subjects in the 350/460 series. . Crandall (cap) Devore Duffy Ford Gandil Geyer Hummel McGraw (glove at hip) Pfeffer Sheckard (glove) Tannehill (Chicago) Wheat Red HINDU is one of my favorite T206 backs. Currently, I have 14 of them. Here's a sampling of HINDU's in my collection. . . . My first red HINDU (acquired in the 1980's) . Hey guys...... how's about posting some of your red HINDU cards here....let's see how many different cards we can come up with ? TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 06-25-2019 at 08:54 AM.
