T205...a bit of my research

[Leon]

Thanks Joshua.
I might comment more later but just want to give you a big shout out for that data. As a back collector I am very appreciative and I know others will be too.
Can you say if there are other Hindu Hof'ers known, besides Johnson? I have to say, I am a bit surprised that Hindu is much more common than Drums. (common being a very relative term as both seem to be very scarce). I think I have seen quite a few more Drums sold. Maybe the Hindus are in those long established collections that don't see daylight . thanks again!!

I have always been surprised by the lack of discussion with regards to T205 player front/back combinations available compared to the T206 set.

I recently started picking up Chief Meyers T205s, and I have started a back run. I have an Honest Long Cut, Sovereign, Hassan , and Red Sweet Caporal backs so far.

I have seen ones with Piedmont, Polar Bear, and Cycle backs as well. I'm not aware of any place that lists possible player front/back combinations.

Anyone know if any other backs are available for the Chief Meyers T205?

Let me know.


Thanks,


Patrick

Joshua,

I don't know if I was a member of this board in 2005 and if I was, I don't remember if I gave you the info on the few T205's that I own. If so, then please disregard the following.

If you would like to add my cards to your list, I would be happy to send you a private message. I only have 14 cards and the "rarest" back seems to be an Hassan green 649.

However, if I can contribute to your research, I would be glad to help,

David
