Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p><br />I recently picked up a couple of rough E121s where the first line on the back ends in "eighty" instead of "eighty of the". It seems like the E121s on ebay, almost without exception, are of the "eighty of the" variety. Any ideas about the difficulty of the ends in "eighty" E121 variation back and premium that attaches, if any? Also, one these pick-ups was Sisler of the Browns. My understanding is that most of the ends in "eighty" backs appear on subjects from the Yankees or Giants. Is this true? Any information appreciated. Thanks, Scot<br /><br /><img src="http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j41/sreader3/EndsinEighty.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Scot</b><p> They are printed in the opposite direction on back as well. I have Cincinnati and New York, purchased from a board member.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1147110751.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Jim Manos</b><p>I will have to check the team's when I get home. They are forsale I know this is not the place to sell but they are available. Very difficult pieces. I can post team and players later. Hope this helps.

Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p><br />Thanks for the responses so far. Does anyone want to hazard a guess on availability ratio of normal back to variation back and/or price premium? Scot

Posted By: <b>Jim Manos</b><p>Scot,<br /> I have Burns Giants, Collins Yankees HOFer, Ryan Giants, and Shawky Yankees. I must say they all must be Yankee's and Giants. Also another variation to these rare E121 type 2's I like to call them is that Pennsylvania is abbreviated on these cards as PA on the back if you notice. E-mail me if you have any further questions as I will post on the B/S/T.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Jim Manos

Posted By: <b>Andy Cook</b><p>I had a near set and the ends in eighty variations were about 5-7% of the cards.<br />Andy
