Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Which set is considered tougher? And same HOFers in same condition - which sets singular HOF cards are considered more valuable (ie 1922 Cobb vs 1916 Cobb, or 1922 W.Johnson vs 1916 W.Johnson)<br /><br />I am not too familiar with these sets, but I do know to throw SMR out the window when pricing these cards.<br /><br />thanks, steve

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>M101-4/5 as a group are overall a bit more common that E120, and hold up better over time.<br /><br />The 2 sets are tough to compare...... <br /><br />E120 was found in Caramel packs by kids, often played with and destroyed by them too. <br /><br />M101-4/5 group (Printed by the Chicago printers Felix Mendelsohn) was sometimes available as a complete set of 200, and overall has 20 different back brands (many are very tough, none are candy, most are department stores or bakeries).<br /><br />The E120 is more easily compared to other B&W candy sets of the era (ie E135, E121-80, E121-120, E122, E220, V61-1, V61-2, etc.).<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Michael Steele</b><p>I am currently collecting a team subset from both of these issues and the E120 has been easier for me to find material. But this information maybe skewed by the fact that "Davidvintage" has had a ton of nice e-120's over the past few months on ebay. By the way, David is great to deal with as mentioned on a prior thread.<br /><br />The quality of photographs in my opinion is better on the M 101-4/5 series which may lead to the M cards being more popular. Throw in the Ruth Major league Rookie and it obviously is more expensive for the entire set.<br /><br />Frank, great post on your observations on the two sets. I learn something new every day reading this forum. Very imformative.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Michael in mn<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>As you get out of the mid-teens (1914-15 Cracker Jacks) - the colorful cards go away. The black/white issues rule the table from mid-teens all the way thru the 1920's.<br /><br />Enter the early 20's "e" series and the "W" cards that some may or may not be actual strip cards - and early Exhibit cards - must choose favorite black/white cards.<br /><br />Was just curious as to what folks like more than others - what is a little easier to obtain - thanks for input folks.<br /><br />steve<br /><br />Anyone with recent sell price - T206 Cobb red PSA 6 ? Thanks
