RC_McKenzieI just got an Abe Attell Miners Extra in the mail today. It has "Factory No. 2 Dist MD". This is my first T219 and I feel like I got a pretty good deal on it.
I saw a T219 Red Cross in a mixed lot in a Festberg catalogue from I believe April 2002. That was the first time I had noticed the difference between T219 and T218. The Attell I bought was listed as a T218, so it looks like there are dealers out there that confuse the two issues.
I think it would help the Boxing card market on the whole if ebay simply created a "boxing cards" category. I have to go thru multiple card " key word" searches just to see what's listed. This makes for great bargains , but I think it prevents some dealers from listing their cards on ebay.
Good luck on the book. BTW is there a book that catalogues/prices all the boxing cards? That would certainly kick-start some interest in boxing cards.
