Good luck on the search, and great collection of Chase silks. Are you only looking for graded silks, and how condition sensitive are you?

As for a Helmar backed Chase, don't even bother. My understanding is there are only something like 3 known Helmar backed silks in the world, and 2 of the 3 are Cobbs, and both owned by Net54 members. I've never heard or seen the 3rd Helmar silk and who the player is, and couldn't tell you when and how it last changed hands. And on top of there supposedly only being 1 more Helmar backed silk in existence, you then have about a 1 in 85 chance it is of Chase and not someone else. Red Suns aren't as impossible as Helmar backed silks, but still extremely rare. I've not heard of or seen a Red Sun backed Chase myself, and the SGC pop reports show they've graded no Red Sun - Chase silks. There's a good chance that no Red Sun - Chases even exist, but you may get lucky and find an ungraded one someday.

Also thought I'd let you know there is one more white silk advertising back you may be able to find. It is a second Turkey Red back variation that has a solid, single line black border going around outside the printing on the back. You can see what it looks like if you go to this site - S74silk.com, and look on the "WHITE SILKS S74-1" page.

Question for you on your two ad-backed Chase silks that SGC only graded as "Authentic". They automatically grade all white version silks with no attached backing as just "A", but typically give any with backing still attached a numerical grade. So, any idea why your 2 ad-backed Chase silks only got an "A" grade?
