Bump - Does anyone have any E94 Cobb's to show ? Here's one to get started ( not mine ) from REA Past Auction ( Purple with no overprint ).

I don't have any but I know of two overprint Cobb E94s.
1) red background and "Home Run" overprint (from REA 2012)
2) blue background and "Out" overprint (from REA 2017)

There are 11 different E94 back variations? Could you post pics of various back variations?

FWIW, I'd guess that there are no more than 12 of the 77.

Got it, thanks. So the back stamps put over the standard back. I am sure a complete back run is impossible- if/when I move onto E94, I am sticking to color variations only.
I don't own them any longer.. and there are a few slight, other word and font variations but these are the main ones. And btw, there is an orange Cobby too....that would make 8 colors

Did someone say 77? :)
Such an iconic card for me. Glad to see the variations being discussed and shown.
That is an M131 not an E94. It is mislabeled.

No it's not my card, sold at Heritage Auctions. Listed in the Lew Lipset Books.

sgc mislabeled those m131's as e94's for years. not sure when they started doing it correctly.
