Here is the final EGGS values for the set...thanks to all the input from everyone. I tried my best to synthesize all the info I received, and I am sure I slighted some while favoring others, including my own sensibilities. The final changes I made involved three cards (two up 1 point, Moran - stray line and Wallace - no cap, 1 line of stats, and one down 1 point, Fisher) that a collector provided after going thoroughly over the list. To maintain the 400 point total I had to drop one card by 1 point (Mathewson - Cycle incorrect stats). This collector also had six additional cards that he thought could be raised (Harmon - only one ear shows, Hoblitzell - name incorrect no Cin., Hoblitzell - name correct, no Cin., Karger, Kleinow, and Wagner. I just didn't feel I could subtract more points from others, and these were not noted by others that they should be raised, so they shall remain at their previous levels.
In a few days I will launch the new T205 EGGS thread, as has been done previously for the T206 (Monster) and E90-1 (Kraken) sets, and hope to see a bunch of folks participate in that thread as well. Thanks again, and below is the final EGGS list that will be included on that thread.
