Red Sun: T210 v. T211 // T218 v. T226

[vintagehofrookies]

I never knew of these cards until this thread and I just went and saw a back and I really like what I see! What an awesome back. Are there any Hofers as part of this set?

Scott,

Thanks for sharing this information. It is hard to defend there wasn't a 2nd series intended, even though there is no 2nd series! Interesting... Perhaps, the reason why there was no 2nd series was b/c the 1st series didn't do to well due to the cigarettes not being preferred and bought!? With so few examples of T211's out there and only 1 known pack, I have to wonder if they were actually a good smoke? Perhaps it was not one of the regions better releases, and they shelved selling Red Sun's as a result. Obviously the 1st series were not that great a hit as these T211's run about like the Type 1 Coupons. Less than 10 examples known to exists on most every example. (Raw & Graded...)

Many of the t226 cards have the same pictures as the t218s (often the t218 images are cropped versions of the t226). I think there are a couple of t226 boxers that are not in the t218 set.
