C52 v T219 v T218

There are nuances to these issues:

T218 has three brands: Hassan, Mecca and Tolstoi. H and M are common; T is rare.

T219 has three brands also: Honest Long Cut, Miners Extra and Red Cross. HLC is the easiest of them. ME is uncommon (I'd say 1 in 10). RC is rare.

I'd rank them as follows:

T219 Red Cross
T218 Tolstoi
T219 Miners Extra
C52
T219 Honest Long Cut
T218 Hassan/Mecca

As far as pricing goes, with the caveat that ITE (In This Economy) all bets are off as far as how a given card does on a given day, I'd say for a typical card in collector grade, the multipliers would be about as follows:

T219 Red Cross 30x-50x
T218 Tolstoi 10x-20x
T219 Miners Extra 5x-7x
C52 3x-5x
T219 Honest Long Cut 2x-3x
T218 Hassan/Mecca 1x
