The T206 "Exclusive 12" of the 460-Only series

Completing a run of 12 red Hindus is very nice, Ted.

My experience collecting back runs of these 12 subjects is that OLD MILL is very tough, and UZIT is virtually impossible.

After I completed my RED HINDU run of these 12 guys, I started the OLD MILL run approx. a year ago and so far I have only these 4 guys......

Sat this one out, Ted. Will probably make the next one. Hopefully I can start doing some shows your way sometime in the future.

and to get back on topic the Red Hindus might not be the rarest back but they are certainly one of the best looking, imho. The first 2 posts in this thread are phenomenal.

Good morning Leon

I too, didn't set-up at this National. First one I have missed in quite a number of years.

There really haven't been any good shows here in the greater Pennsylvania / New Jersey area recently for you
to make the trip. If a future show is in the making that looks promising, I will bring it to your attention.

And, you are always welcomed to stay at the "Hotel Zanidakis".

Thanks for the complimentary words regarding this red HINDU thread......it was quite an interesting adventure.

The following post will reprise my Exclusive 12/red HINDU cards for anyone of the new members on this forum.

The title from Sly and the Family Stone's popular 1971 song best describes this mission. In September 2013, I acquired Doc Crandall with a red HINDU back from
Scott and Leon's auction. Since I already had the Tannehill / red HINDU card, I was motivated to try to see how quick I could complete the 12 subjects that I had
designated as the " Exclusive 12 ". In a prior thread, I made a claim that these 12 guys are considerably easier to find with this very scarce red HINDU back than
the other 31 confirmed red HINDU subjects.

Evident in the following timeline, within 2 months with the help from my friends on Net54, I had acquired 10 of these 12 red HINDU cards. And, by Dec 2014,
I had upgraded my original Ford and Hummel cards.
OK, this was too easy....and, certainly easier than I expected. But, I soon realized...."It Don't Come Easy" (Ringo Starr, 1971). It took 19 months from when I
first started this adventure until I finally acquired the elusive 12th red HINDU....Jimmy Sheckard.

These 12 guys are the only HINDU cards that were printed in the T206 set's last Series, which comprises of 48 cards that were printed ONLY with 460-type backs.
