One of the "elite" rare backs of the T206 issue, the Red Hindu reverse is ranked just behind Uzit as the #7 most scarce, according to our friends at T206Resource.com. The cards continue to be in very high demand regardless of grade; even lower-grade commons reach into the thousands at public sale. This example, graded GOOD 2 by PSA, features Brooklyn's John Hummel in front of a yellow sky with green grass. The centering is slightly north and east on the canvas, with rounded corners and some edge chipping. Snow on the front with some color loss and a small crease at the top right corner explain the card's technical grade. 

The important part, however - the reverse - is extremely clean, given the amount of wear on the card. The Hindu ad is perfectly legible and bright, with no paper loss and very little staining. A fine collector-grade example of a very difficult card. PSA has only ever graded 18 total examples of this Red Hindu back version of the Hummel, with only six receiving a higher grade than the GOOD 2 offered here.
