Thanks for the nice write up, Bob, concerning the orange E94s. I think it's been discussed a few times but it never hurts to have a refresher. And I don't think I remember Brian having all of the oranges he did, but I am sure he did. He has had a lot of good cards.

Here is another E94-type....M131.... The crease doesn't bother me too much and it's not like I would find another at a good price... I picked this one up back in the day and only paid a few hundred for it, I think.

If all the oranges were that nice it makes me wonder if they were ever "released". That said, given that Cobbs do not generally exist in greater numbers in any other color, I doubt he was double print on an orange sheet. My guess would be just that very few sheets were made and perhaps one person kept a group while somehow only Cobb survived from another sheet. This is only conjecture.

E94 Orange's
 

Thanks for chiming in everyone on the oranges, as I've known about the 2 Cobb's for a while, but couldn't make heads or tails of them with the thought of there only being one sheet produced. Leon, yours is a beauty! I agree Jim, it seems like the ones known are in super sharp condition and probably weren't released. Although possible Bob, it would seem 2 Cobb's on one sheet would be quite odd. Just as odd is Brian had a bunch, but not all the players. I think you're right that it was a test balloon or on accident. My guess is there were a couple of sheets produced and the ones not known are tucked away in a collection we'll see down the road. The 2 Cobb's made it out to the market first being the most valuable card in the set. I'm looking forward to seeing a few more oranges show up down the road!

The two SGC slabbed cards which came from Lionel Carter (Leon's and mine) are nice but 20 and a 30. They definitely look to have been released. The rest of mine are PSA 6s and 7s and as I recall the Cobb and McGraw were also 7s, not sure what the Speaker was. You may have something when you suggest that perhaps this group which Daniels once had were never released as they are so nice, very unusual for E94s. I think Scott Elkins might know a little bit about these cards as I remember my Devore came from him (he bought it from Daniels) and he had at least one orange (maybe more) himself than he bought from Daniels. I don't know if Scott still reads these boards or not...

E94 Orange Speaker
 

Bob, I think the Speaker was an SGC 80/6 if I can remember. Saw it a couple of yrs ago.

Time to bump this thread with one more...
