I notice that a few of the T219 Red Cross cards have wormholes similar to what you see with Cuban issues. I've had a few of them too over the years. I don't recall seeing those with other T boxing cards. I wonder if it is something about the storage: perhaps a large % of the RC backs originated in the same 'buggy' hoard?

What're you missing in T219 RC?

Seems to me that most of the RC's in circulation are from a tiny number of original finds/collections/sources. Unlike a lot of the T sets where the rare ones come up 1 or 2 at a time, it's always seemed to me that the RC's have originated in bulk sources. Lithographers sure went to a lot of work for a set with a small production run to recrop everything. Won’t ever finish it, but it’s a fun ride to come as close as practicable. Johnson ain't worth it unless I manage to round up the 49 others, and that's probably not happening unless I luck into a hoard. Sometimes you get lucky
