How rare is T207 Red Cross back?

[ullmandds]

All the Louisiana find cards appeared on the antiques roadshow you can probably find the episode on the Internet it’s quite entertaining.

In this issue of the Trader Speaks, Lew Lipset talks about the first four T207 Red Cross cards, and that an illustration of the cards can be seen in his encyclopedia.

Gentlemen,
interesting topic and unfortunately i can't help fill in the gaps on the red cross backs....but here is a nice weaver with a cycle back.
Certainly not anywhere close as rare as a red cross back, but none the less a tough, beautiful card.

Cool, thanks, Ed!

The illustration in his encyclopedia only has the Blackburne pictured.

I think he was unaware of the Ward Miller, as it originates from a collection found in the 1960s.

The Lange was separate from the first four the Lipset mentions and was found after them.

File under never wong...just early! I owned this lowdy for a spell.

I found a Lange about 15 years ago that I later sold in a Mastro auction. I cannot say for sure if it was part of the 1980s find but I do not believe so. Joe

Hey Chris,

A board member (ZachS ) has a site dedicated to Louisiana Cards, including the Red Cross backs - see https://www.louisianacards.com/t207.html

There are also a few threads on this site that have some of the discussion, e.g.

There was also a Ward Miller that was auctioned off in 2018 by REA - an image is in the thread linked above
