Tobacco cards, two Board Members noted that they were
aware of several collectors who were collecting the set.
We find this observation to be questionable since neither SGC nor PSA
have a single registered set collector for T 211 Red Sun Set.
Within the past 16 months there have only been six public auctions
(Vintage Card Prices.com) where a Red Sun has traded. It is worth noting
that the Victory cards, often identified as the rarest tobacco issue (excluding
Fan Cigarettes) had four examples traded in public auctions.
Whilst PSA have graded a mere six examples from the rare Red Sun Series,
SGC has graded 121 examples. There are a plethora of other type cards
where far fewer examples have been graded which have still attracted
collectors to register their sets.
Accordingly, we would like to know which collectors are puting sets
together, why they have not registerd said sets and if that information
is not available the basis for the comments that several collectors are
putting together sets.
