The bigger issue is outfitting my Whaling Ship with plenty of harpoons when these unicorns appear.

Ha! Phil,
the closest I'll get to a Red Cross now;
gotta dig into the Actresses.

Back to your intent, I had a Griffith (bat) Red Cross years ago and sold it; I knew it was a toughie but thought more about $$$ back then; funny thing, I bought it at a larger show (prolly 30 yrs ago); asked to look at the dealer's stack of lesser condition tobacco cards that he had rubber banded together in a lower corner of his display case; skimming through and seeing the usuals (incl. HOFer's); tossed the Griffith out and handed the stack back while offering him $60 on the Griffith. Deal. Ah, ... the good ol' days.
