Show us your T206 Brown & Red HINDU pairs ?

[tedzan]

Robert A, you asked........

" I thought there was a confirmed Cobb Red Hindu?

Was that card deemed rebacked or what?

Cobb Red Portrait/Red Hindu with Cobb Bat On/Brown Hindu would be another pair wouldn't it? "



1st....are you referring to this recently posted Cobb of mine ?

Or, have you seen this Cobb with a Brown HINDU back elsewhere ? ?




If it is this one that you are referring to, then I will tell you that it is a "re-backed" card that I acquired about 10 years ago.
In the late 1990's a rash of re-backed T206 star cards appeared in the hobby. These cards were very professionally altered
and some even were graded by SGC and PSA. Two of the most "notorious" T206's were a Red Cobb with a DRUM back and a
Matty (portrait) with a Red HINDU back. The latter being an impossible front/back combo.

2nd....that brings me to the recent Red Cobb/Red HINDU card you alluded to. Frankly, I am very skeptical about this card as
being a authentic. I would like to see at least one or two more of these to feel confident that this front/back combo is real.


Thanks for raising this issue regarding the Cobb's. For some time, I have been doing some research on the lack of Cobb cards
with HINDU backs. And, I will be posting a thread on this subject soon.

A Net54 reader emailed me his L.Tannehill card with a Brown HINDU back. So, combined with my 460 series Tannehill
card with a Red HINDU back we have a new pair to add to the list. With this pair we now have 23 "HINDU pairings".
There are 41 confirmed Red HINDU cards and many Brown HINDU cards, so we should be able to pair up a few more
of these 150 series/460 series T206's. Below is the list of known HINDU pairs. Check out your T206's and see if you
can come up with new inputs.

Final run on this thread to see if we can come up with any more T206 "HINDU pairs".

Or perhaps, a "trifecta" like the M. Brown cards.


Thanks,

What about the Waddells?

The hindu ad shows the waddell throwing example. It makes sense that the card would exist although I don't remember seeing that card.

I believe both the portrait and the throwing could exist.

Hi Rob,
Rube is only available in the 150 and 350 series, so no Red Hindu....However, he should have 2 Brown Hindu's, the portrait which I have and the throwing pose from the ad that I am missing...

Be well Brian

PS You could make another list of "Brown only Hindu combo's"
Mathewson
Lajoie
Clarke..... etc.

[caramelcard]

Thanks Brian,

Yeah, I meant two brown hindus.

Have you seen any waddell throwing brown hindu?
