List of known Red HINDU's....can you add any new ones ?

[teetwoohsix]

Is the only reason some veteran collectors have suspicions about the Red Cobb/Red Hindu T206 because only one is known of,or because of the rash of rebacked cards that happened 1999/2000?

I only ask because as was pointed out earlier,it seems this front/back combo could be possible.

I have no opinion-have never even held a Red Hindu (yet )in hand,but am really enjoying this thread!!

It is my understanding that several groups of rare backed commons were auctioned off around '99-'00 (all bought by an infamous card doctor) and that those backs (with distinctive markings) started ending up on HOFs not long after.

I have no clue as to whether the Cobb/red Hindu is related to this or not. If memories are correct and it dates back to the '80s, then it probably is good. It seems some reliable source remembers seeing a red Cobb/red Hindu back then anyway, even if this one is not it. I agree that the fact that it is a possible/probable combo lends to the likelihood of it being real. The fact that there are no legit brown Hindus of this front makes it all the more possible. If brown Hindus of red/Cobb were real, we would know of many examples. Brown Hindus are not that tough.
