How much of a value multiplier is a Brown Hindu Back?

You folks have a lot more experience in the vintage world than I do so I'm interested to get anyone's comments.

i would say about 2-3x the amount,closer to 2 but ive seen them go for 3x the amount before over common backs

Commons usually bring 3x-4x, and Hofers and short prints command around 2x. Most back collectors prefer to purchase vg+ or better cards without creases, so lesser condition cards may not bring more than a 2x mulitplier. be well brian

although I recently sold a PSA 3 Matty portrait brown Hindu for about $440. I bought a vgex Powers (short print) for $91 and thought I had gotten a great deal.

Brian didn't mention Hindu SL'ers, but I think they should get about 20 times book

SHHHHHHHHH!
As you know Scott I collect Sler's with Hindu backs, and would like to buy as many as I can at a decent price. I would think 8-12 times would be more realistic than 20, atleast until my set is finished.
As usual, it's hard to get anything past this group.

T206 MUSEUM LIST COMMONS AT 20X AND SPECIAL CARDS AT 5X. I PERSONALLY THINK THE RED HINDU'S ARE UNDERVALUED, BUT RECENT EBAY AUCTIONS HAVE PROVED OTHERWISE. SEVERAL NICE RED HINDU'S HAVE FAILED TO MEET REASONABLE RESERVES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, INCLUDING THE KLEINOW BOSTON HINDU I ALMOST PULLED THE TRIGGER ON. TIME WILL TELL. WHAT COLOR OF RED WINE MAKES THE BROWN HINDU TURN RED? MERLOT? CABERNET? PINOT? OR MADDOG 20/20? I'LL STICK WITH LONGNECKS.
