2 very nice cards Andy

E107
 

I know Brian just picked up a nice McGinnity (per the pick-ups thread), but I have to show my example b/c it's the only E107 remaining in my collection.

Brian was able to pry away my only other E107 a few months ago...:cool:

Very cool card Derek!

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen one grade over a 60/5? I've seen the Young a couple times.

Higher grade
 

I'm not sure if one is graded over a "5", but according to the SGC pop reports, there is an E107 Wagner that graded a 50/ "4". Does anyone have a picture of that card? I saw the SGC 40 example in the Mastro auction back in 2007, and that was amazing, but just wondering what the SGC 50 example looks like.

There is a George Davis graded 5.5 by SGC

Isn't there a Plank graded PSA 8?

The second post in this old net54 thread seems to say so, but I can't find a scan http://www.net54baseball.com/archive...p/t-78360.html

and I don't know what auction this was in, but it sold for quite a sum. (5th one down) http://www.pcgs.com/Articles/Detail/2956

Am I missing something? That looks like a t206 plank that sold? Here's mine, ....anyone recognize these?

Thanks for the info Cole. It's amazing that nothing better that Ex+ has survived from the set.

Great Cards Guys!
 

Great cards guys. It is a wonderful set. Out of my league but a great looking set.

Tony

Correct
 

Barry,

You are correct. There is a PSA 8 Plank out there. Mastro auctioned it off in 2000 or so, but it wasn't graded at the time of auction. I think it ended at around $30-$35K. There is no photo of it in their auction archives.

Tony

Tony- I think a board member and occasional poster once owned it.

There is a PSA 8 Plank. PSA actually lists it as an 8Q. I don't recall the reason for the quailifiation... perhaps a mark.

Anyway, it resides in a fantastic, seldom seen collection.

Type 2 Tenney
 

Several years ago I made a run at a Type 2 set and got pretty close. The Tenney always eluded me though. I finally picked this one up recently thanks to a board member. Just a brutally tough card to try to find all the way around and a nice one to cross off the very top of my wantlist, even if it is several years removed from me seriously collecting this set. Not sure I'll go after other e107s (would like to) but it's nice having this one around in my collection as a type!

Attachment 49294

Really tough card. Congrats!

Nice card Brian

That Plank card is great. Are the E107's available very often or is it a hard set to come by? I don't have much knowledge on the set.

It's a pretty rare set. Even poor-condition commons can sell for about $1,000. I think most of the HOFers have less than 20 known to exist, but I'm not sure. Someone else will be able to provide more information

There's a pretty decent answer on pg 2 of this thread.....

amazing info in this thread ! and amazing card everybody !

So
 

in summary (I think)

No complete sets are known to exist, although I've heard there's one collector who is one card short.

There's a famous trade from a few years ago that involved a fairly extensive E107 collection.

The Legendary E107 offering this summer at the National is widely anticipated. Thoughts are that a private sale is the preferred outcome and, given the rarity of the set, is a distinct possibility. Many of us collectors would love the opportunity to bid on specific cards from the set, though!

From a personal collecting standpoint, I have a nice team set run from E107, short only one card [a very tough one -- I've never even seen a scan]. Took me about 8 years to put that team set together.

interesting the fact that 1 collector are at 1 card short to complete the set... I am curious about how much a complete set of E107 can bring at auction, in low grade....IF 1 day a complete set is discovered and put at auction.

Cool thread bump.

I've never really liked or appreciated black and white cards, but with E107 I could make an exception (if I could ever afford a HOFer, which is what I mainly collect). I was keeping an eye on the recent Keeler that sold in the recent legendary auction. Quite the beautiful card....

Keeler keeps taunting me, said the underbidder.

Harry said he wanted in.

E107 Plank
 

Barry is right I did once own that card. I bought it at the St. Louis national in The 90's. Had it graded at the show as I recall. It was in a odd ball bunch of raw cards and I bought it for its sticker price of $10.00. For about 20 years I had worked with Cynthia Plank in Watertown Mass. She was a relative of Eddie, granddaughter I think - thanks Cynthia where ever you are these days - Maine I believe. Should have held on to it, but got rid of it when I realized how impossible the set was and I am basically a set collector.
