Dan is right concerning the colored version of the silks as far as I'm concerned. I've been collecting both versions for well over 10 years (no where near as long as Dan) but, I've never seen a Helmar or Turkey Red colored version silk. I know the Standard Catalog lists that they come with those brands shown but, I'ld love to see one of either if there are any out there. Its interesting also in that the Standard Catalog shows Helmar as the rarest back in the white version silks and then shows the Red Sun version of the colored silks as the rarer of the two for that issue. Anyone know a reason why that may or may not be true?

P.S. Thanks to whoever corrected me regarding which auction the Red Sun backed Cobb recently sold in. I knew it started with an "H" but, couldn't remember which one at the time. Also, that was one of the nicest I've ever seen also, at least from what I could tell from the scan.
