2. Old Mill (Southern League - Overprint) - Factory 649 - District 1 - State NY
3. Ty Cobb - Factory 33 - District 4 - State NC
4. Old Mill (Brown) - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA
5. Broad Leaf - Series 460 - Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA
6. Lenox (Brown) - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY
7. Drum - Series 350- Factory 25 - District 2 - State VA
8. Uzit - Factory 30 - District 2 - State NY
9. Hindu (Red) - Factory 649 - District 1 - State NY
10. Piedmont - Series 350-460 - Factory 42 - District 4 - State NC

Here are the top 10 on T206museum.com

Given that 1-4 and 6 are virtually impossible and #5 is just a series variation, Red Hindu is right up there with Drum and Uzit. As a moderate back collector, my goal was to have one of each brand and one example of each color variation. I have a few red Hindus. No brown old mill or brown lenox and I doubt I ever will. I appreciate the series and factory buffs, but those never did it for me. So if it is just brands and colors, Red Hindu is high on the list. Maybe I am the only one who thinks this way about T206 backs, but if there are others, that might explain it.

Or maybe Ted is competing with somebody over an all Hindu set, which we all know means red Hindus too since I believe there were no card printed with BOTH red and brown Hindu backs.
