Default Red Hindu's more rare than Uzit?

Posted By: Anonymous

Anytime the rare back topic comes up, I get an image in my head that Uzit, Hindu, etc, were the 1910 equivalent of Virginia Slims Light Menthol 100's today- meaning- nobody smoked them, hence the relative scarcity. (I'm sure this isn't a new revelation).

I use this logic to intellectualize myself away from the rare backs (I was, briefly, fanatical about them). I have convinced myself that because none of the cool people smoked Uzits in 1910, I shouldn't try to get their discarded cards.

Please feel free to use this rationale to talk yourself out of pursuing rare backs...
