Art M.I am familiar with the Cobb, green background with Hindu red back once owned by Barry Sloate. I tracked this card back to Barry, but have been unable to actually find the current owner of the card. It traced from Barry to a familiar dealer (JS) to a collector in Alabama who ended up in prison.
It is extremely unlikely that this card is "as issued". The Cobb, green was no longer being printed when the Hindu red backs came into being (probably early in 1911).
