A T219 Thread

I had a near set of low grade mixed ME and HLC that I sold at auction about 10 years ago. I had picked them up 1 by 1 on the cheap, and wasn't too worried about completing the set. I bought 3 Red Cross about 20 years ago from a Festberg auction. I faxed an up-to bid of $750 and won the lot for $750. I thought I was collecting the Red Cross backs, but never added anymore to my collection. I sold them at auction, about 7 or 8 years ago, for about $450.

I think I have about 3 or 4 Red Cross now, including this Attel, that I won for like $375. If it were a baseball card, I could not afford it. I know I saw at least one near set of Red Cross sell at auction in the last 10 years. FWIW

Didn't know about Hull, but obviously had a great collection.

There was the full set of 50 that sold a few years ago.

This lot of 44: https://sports.ha.com/itm/boxing-car...a/7051-80859.s

This batch of 38: https://sports.ha.com/itm/boxing-car...a/7075-81059.s

The eBay batch a few months ago that someone totally stole.

And 1 or 2 others, I think.

As far as I'm aware, most of the batches are not put together by contemporary hobbyists, but are finds kept together. Seems the only chance at completing a set now is this avenue
