While we're asking who won what, who ran me up $250 on the Red Cross Papke tonight? I forgive you

Sorry. I set a max bid at $303.

My surprise was that the third bidder was at only $55. I was hoping it would go closer to 200 than 400, but pricing this stuff is always tough. I’m up to 2 Red Crosses now. 48 to go…

Also just noticed the Red Crosses are a physically smaller card than the other 3 backs.

End hijack, back to the Tolstoi’s gentlemen

other 3 T219 backs? Miners Extra, Honest Long Cut and ____?

I've not noticed the size disparity; gonna have to check that out.

Miners Extra, Honest Long Cut Black, Honest Long Cut Green. 2 brands, 2 backs people care about, but 3 actual backs.

I haven’t had a Red Cross in hand until recently, and just realized it is notably smaller left-right and it’s shrunk a bit from the other 3 back types. With it raw in hand to stack with my others, my Conley Red Cross is definitely a physically smaller size. Never noticed from images before. Presumably this is why the border is missing on back too…

Got it. Ink variation = different back.
