Hindu T205s

[Collect Equity]

In theory, do all T205 cards exist with both Drum and Hindu backs? If not, do we have a checklist of which cards exist with these backs?

The short answer to your question is no. In fact, there is apparently no overlap between the drum and hindu backed cards. I have a checklist (definitely incomplete) of hindu and drum cards that I have either owned, seen good scans of, or have seen in person. Both are checklists are rather small.

Could we possibly start a checklist creation and compare with Josh's? I know a few of us here are involved with the T205 set. I personally own 1 Drum & 1 Hindu. Could we create a thread asking for anyone who owns either back to submit the Back/Player combo. Then we can see if there are similar patterns as well as duplicate players with same backs.

I would be interested in seeing scans of any Hindu/drum backs as well.

I will to post a list later this evening.

If you do a forum search under T205 Hindu you will find quite a bit of information. A lot of it is from Joshua (thanks sir) and some from other members too. As usual I just did a search and started reading and reading and reading......Searches on this forum can be like a child watching lizards mate on a fence....If you aren't careful you can just sit there for a long time reading on and on .

Some childhood you had!!!

During my years in the hobby I handled several thousand T205, including at least a few Drums. But I never had even a single Hindu.

Lew Lipset has always said he feels the Hindu's are the toughest T205 backs. I think the statements in this thread will help confirm that. And as a shameless plug I believe there will be a fairly nice one, with a small bit of back damage at top (maybe keeping the price down a little), in our B and L auction coming up in September.
