Drum
Hindu
Broad Leaf (both)
Piedmount 42
Am Beatuty (both)

We have had this discussion several times and I still put Hindu as the rarest T205 back, then Drum. Drums will probably always have more value because of the status they have with T206. Just my opinion on that...


As for Burdick.... I can help out a little bit. I plan on doing a major, in depth article some time in the future concerning the whole ACC and cataloging of cards but for now here is a very first page of the Tobacco Cards from the 1939 "The US Card Collectors Catalog" by Burdick and the last version he did in 1967, called "The American Card Catalog"...(note no T205 (520) Hindu, ever, but a Drum did pop up ). Hope this helps.....much appreciated.....
