Amazing E95 Discovery

[shammus]

Erik,

Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful response! So a school folder then? Similar to the 1914-15 Notebooks that were released that contained those blank backed versions of e95s and e96s that are found semi-often?

Odd that it has the same scripting/captions at the top as the Cobb being discussed in this thread. For those that have this card with the ad back, what is the paper stock on the card like? Is it thicker than a normal e95? Mine is about the same in terms of thickness as a normal e95...maybe even a little slimmer. I suppose it's possible that the card could be skinned although mine doesn't exhibit any signs of distress on the back at all....

Brian,

Mine is entombed in a GAI holder but does seem to be "thinner" than most. I state this only because I have no other cards in GAI holders and this one seems to "float" around a whole lot looser. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks Greg, that makes perfect sense as that's how mine is as well. It's definitely not any thicker of paper stock than normal e95s, in fact, mine seemed maybe a tad more delicate even. Congrats on your new pick-up by the way!

We found one. These posts were extremely helpful in identifying the card. Thank you.

It’s always a lot of fun to discover a rare card like this. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Cool; didn't even know you were on the boards, DeansCards. I will give you a shameless plug, since most people complain about your pricing schemes.

I bought 5 of your autographed cards through COMC that are labeled "ALTERED" on their site since they're not Third Party Authenticated by either PSA, JSA, BGS, or SGC. I sent them in to PSA on a blue flip submission and all five came back authentic. I have bought quite a few others from you on COMC and have been happy with my purchases. Thanks for crosslisting them there!

John,

Thanks for the kind words. They are much appreciated.

Okay, not to be that guy ... but it should be pointed out that this isn't a 100% match.

The words Jelly on the Cobb in the two lines are almost on top of each other, and are clearly offset in the advertising piece. Heck the second Jelly shouldn't even appear on the card based on the red box on the advertising piece.

Granted all the words are right, but the alignment is wrong.

This isn't the advertising piece they were on front of - but is very likely a close approximation.

With that said - great detective work and great insight into the set. Well done!

Cheers,
Patrick

Here is one that I uncovered a couple of years ago.

Awesome card Pistola! Thanks for posting it.

I have been looking high and low for scans of all E95-like cards and this thread contains all of the examples of the script front Cobb (one blank back, four partial ad backs) and Jefferies (one blank, one partial ad) that I have been able to find.
