Default Scarce or rare E121's?

Posted By: Mark L

I know that there are cards in the "Series of 80" that have tougher backs. On some, the first line of printing on the back ends with the word "eighty" rather than with "eighty of the" and that the former are considered difficult. But how many individual cards are difficult? The Encyclopedia mentions a couple Babe Ruth cards which lack parentheses around "Babe" and a Heilmann card spelled "Heilman." Lipsett calls them "exceedingly rare." Have others emerged? Tonight on ebay, a Charlie Deal (with a small crease and a small scratch on the back) just sold for $123.50. It was described as being a very difficult card. Is it? Are there others?

Since I've some to this board I have always preached, "be careful" of cards that have ink variations or missing print or portions of print. Here is an E121 ghost with a blank back.

Not trying to freak anyone out...just a helpful warning from a felow collector to be very cautious. If I don't show what can be done, no one would ever believe it.

e121's in raw vg usually sell for $20. I don't know about or have not seen the commons that command a premium. The series of 80 print difference may make some cards scarcer than others, but I've never seen any significant jump in price like the auctions you referenced.
