Also aware of the consinor who owned the card also from my understanding these cards "Hindu's" Cobbs came from a dealer who I will not name.
He was getting these from a person in NY who was connected to or was Moser the re-backer himslef. I think the bad Drum Cobb the fellow board members had which we all no was bad also came from this same dealer slash NY connection.
One connection at arms length to tons of one of a kind Cobb's seems odd to me sort of like Chan having 4 Old Mill OP's.
Also shear law of avg. says at least more than one Hindu (Red or Brown) of any Cobb would have popped up by now. I mean we can point out a handfull of Johnson's and Youngs..yet the biggest player of the day only one of each.
Two Browns and one Red? In all my years never seen one, superset 17k cards just the 2 Browns in question. Asked many auctioners none of them every sold one or remember seeing one inculding Rob from REA. Never seen one on Ebay, never seen one for sale in any way.
One would think we would see at least one other in all these years somewhere..heck even during my Murphy quest I found 3 BL460's examples in fact in BL460 there are many cards that have many examples even a single Cobb Red BL460.
I think we could all say that BL460 is way tougher than Brown Hindu and much tougher than Red. And on a super print like Cobb we have more single examples of a common like Murphy floating around with BL460 back than Cobb with a Brown Hindu or Red for that matter.
These are either the rarest of all T206's even more rare than the Doyle as each Cobb Hindu is a one of one. Or something doesn't fit?
Cheers,
