Julie VognarI had about 12 Tin Tops and 6 Red Borders. Of course, I'd only get red borders in which the border completely encircled the picture.
So yes, if you take any red border that comes along, they may be a bit eassier than the Tin Tops. High grade red borders sell for more than high grade tin tops, though (not of course talking about a Jackson or a Johnson--yes, there is a tin top Johnson!). Oh yeah--my 2006 guide hasn't come yet--but there better not be an E254 Jackson listed, or an E254 Cobb, name on uniform...
This is the only E254 Cobb...I have only one Colgans left, so don't everyone ask if I want to sell that one..it's a Wagner.
Scan of back of some of my tin tops (that were). In case anyone didn't know why they were called tintops, read text.
