Scott ElkinsPeople did think the E102 set was from 1908. That is the reason it is higher in the guides. However, I am still a firm believer that the E101's came first as a "prototype". Dockman and others did put their ads on back after - for some reason, Dockman only chose 40 of the 50 poses and the distributors of E102's chose less than that.
I would gladly trade two E102's for one Croft's Cocoa in the same grade. I will even trade E102 HOF'ers for Croft's Cocoa commons in the same grade!
