REA PSA 3 T227 HLC Johnson

[Exhibitman]

T219 Red Cross are ridiculously HTF. I think the most I had was around 15 and that was because I found seven of them at a card show. Now I am down to one or two (not sure; been a year since I went to the bank to visit the rare stuff, but I plan to get over there once my 2nd dose of vaccine kicks in).

I wonder what would happen at auction if some of the nasty stuff was put up. I may test the waters with a few items and see.

There was that one complete set a few years ago, and then a few months ago someone bought a lot of 22 ripped up beaters for $25 on an eBay BIN (still disappointed I missed that one). Those are the only times I recall seeing Red Crosses in any kind of quantity, been tracking T219 since 2004. Still need one as a type card, been the underbidder on a few. I doubt there are more than a couple dozen of any 1 front out there.

Will be interested to see what yours sell for if you test the open market right now.

Well, I am keeping the Ketchel but I supposedly have a Patsey Kline too. Damned if I can find it, though.

There hasn't been a lot of the scarcier vintage material on the market in the last few years so it will be interesting to see when the next batch emerges. Regarding the T219 Red Cross's... they are really tough! I've been able to accumulate a nice size stack over the last 20 years but it took some effort!

I sold some E80 commons on eBay and offline a couple of months back, which went pretty strong. I have been tempted to see what I would get for my Jack Johnson, but I know I wouldn't be able to replace it the way this market is headed, so this one will stay put for now!

Ditto



Though mine does have a little Burdick bonus back too.

Probably a mid-thousands card now, Adam - very nice! Though this new breed of deep-pocketed buyers will have no clue who Jefferson Burdick was....
