Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Picked this up yesterday....(obviously still coming to me) and was wondering if I did good, bad (can only be $100 bad), or indifferent? I collect this sort of stuff, and although the pic is not good, it still looks like it might be neat. Anyone seen many of these? thanks in advance<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2760478753" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2760478753</a>

Posted By: <b>petecld</b><p>The price you paid is in line with other sales I have seen. <BR><BR>But, the album is actually for the E120 set, not the E121.

Posted By: <b>Lyman Hardeman</b><p>Hi Leon. Thanks for your post.<BR><BR>The E120 American Caramel card backs state that "We supply handsome blank albums to hold 120 pictures--one for American League, one for National League--for 16 cents each postpaid." This is one of those albums.<BR><BR>Each album contain pages for the eight teams in the league, with spaces for the 15 players for that team from the E120 set.<BR><BR>The albums are actually a little larger than the one shown on the eBay acution (I'm sure the image has been cropped; not the album!). They measure roughly 12 inches wide by 11 inches high.<BR><BR>An example of the cover and one of the team pages (for the N. Y. Giants) is shown here:<BR><BR><img src="http://www.hardeman1.com/bbcards/e/e2/e120/album-cover-national-sm.jpg"> <img src="http://www.hardeman1.com/bbcards/e/e2/e120/album-page-giants-sm.jpg"><BR><BR>The pristine condition of the few albums seen recently make one wonder if they may be reprints, although it is possible that a cache of original albums has been discovered. I got mine at the 2002 National from a dealer who's integrity has been recently questioned on this board.<BR><BR>I would be interested in getting feedback from you after you receive the album, or from any other members of this board who can provide more details about the albums.<BR><BR>All the best, Lyman
