Perhaps Johnson's prices will be sustained by the narrative around him, not sure anyone is really going to start caring about boxing history that much as the sport continues to generally be outside the mainstream. Glad I bought some Johnsons for my master sets when I did. Johnson T218 being 100X Jeffries T218 is insane to me, but what the heck do I know! The others seeing large price increases can be explained by the influx of free time + cash into the US, with a strong nostalgia element. Nobody who cared about Johnson is alive now, and unlike baseball history that remains a popular interest with people, almost none of the much fewer boxing fans care much about a century ago. I thought after his prices failed to change much in 2018, probably the last time he will be prominently pushed into the public eye much, that they weren't going to go up that much. I was sure wrong! Still need both his Honest Long Cut T219's, and his common T218 Mecca S2-649 card. Those are sure going to hurt now. |

What do you mean by BOTH his HLC T219's? He has just the blue version in T219, right? Or are you referring to a factory variation?

Honest Long Cut Black Honest Long Cut Green Miners Extra Red Cross Honest Long Cut black is 2-3x as common as the Green text HLC back, which is something like 2-3x as common as Miners Extra (in my humble, completely uneducated opinion). I’m trying to do a 150 card set since the Red Crosses are just not a realistic goal unless I stumble across a find of them. I’m about 99% certain all cards exist in all backs, though I have not yet confirmed all Honest Greens exist Johnson (Green) pose definitely doesn’t exist in T219. |

Thanks for the info - I assumed that was what you were referring to, and not that there was a green version. But just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something!
The black vs green back info is helpful - I’m not an expert on T219s so I wasn’t aware of this... |

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.

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.
