Great point as well. I think both are beautiful looking cards, and I am very happy to own both backs. I totally feel that the eye appeal of a Brown Hindu, regardless of the condition (mine is a beater), is another reason why they get more attention. I feel that Piedmont 42's do not get enough attention, and in a way, I am happy with that....for now! It's true though, many of them go unnoticed, and that is the fun of acquiring them.
Back to Old Mills though...I find them as an in between back. As if they do not get much attention, but when they are spotted, people take to them. I personally like the design of the Old Mill back, that is why I like to acquire them. I just feel that recently, that not a large amount of cards are backed with Old Mill backs, making them a nice piece to any t206 collection. That being said, they are not impossible to obtain.
