leonBruce- I read your statement this morning:
"In comments with the regard to the relative rarity of the T 211 Red Sun
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."
I am not sure what you find questionable about what I said. Do you find me questionable, or just what I said I know? Do you really think the registry is what all collecting should be graded (pun intended) by? I just came back from seeing a collection of high grade, medium grade, and lower grade cards. Nineteenth century through 21st with a concentration on pre-war. I only saw baseball because I only had 5 hours or so to spend there. I didn't even know this person had a T211 set (minus 1-2) until today. He showed me a small handful of slabbed cards and said that's all he had and he could care less about grading. There are far more collectors like that than I think any of us really know. ...You can collect your way and I'll collect mine but please don't find me questionable when I state I know something. I am always prepared to back it up. (though I wouldn't divulge the names in public).....I hope you understand what I am saying.....thanks much
edited to say the T211's would probably grade 3-6+ and the total collection was thousands of cards and is almost all e-sets, t-sets etc.....
