Hard to choose between my E121 Cobb and this, but Christy looks so pretty with his lipstick!

E90 cards don't get too much nicer than your Young.

It's a tough choice, but I think this is my favorite. Besides, I acquired this Wagner from my old friend.

special for me because I got it for my son when he was born; and now have the corresponding Tim Carroll piece for my other son when he was born.

Probably this one. 1 of 2 with the blue back as far as I can tell.

E91 Eddie Collins and Colgans

Leon, I'll never get tired of seeing that beautiful Cy E90-1.

Its hard to pick just one favorite "E" card but, for this week or month at least, I'd probably go with this one.

These two just arrived today, so they're today's favorites...

Mine is always changing, but this always seems to reappear on my favorites list.

Great thread! As of this minute, I would have to go with the Christian Gentleman. It could change tomorrow...[emoji2957]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...705eec33fa.jpg

I guess this one could go with Andy's Frank Chance. Really like the crisp appearance of this card.

Some E cards - l love the bird!!!

Nice card, looks like an 8 or a 9 on the front!

couple of my favorites...

My e93 Mathewson and my Lionel Carter e98 Hal Chase in some sweet condition. :) Then the e101 Knight is just one of my favorite e card poses out there.

None high grade, but some tougher ones

Probably my E92 Dockman Matty. But since that horizontal card has already been posted a couple of times (different sets), I will post this E90-1 of Stuffy McInnes. Have always loved the bold colors and the bat coming at you pose.

Brian

Tough to choose. Tomorrow may be a different card.

such a beautiful look
 

Plus from a legendary collector

Tom, I have to admit I've never seen one of those. I had to look it up:

"The 1910 A.W.H. caramel set features Virginia League players and is considered one of the most esoteric and rarest baseball cards sets of its time. Most advanced collectors still do not own samples from this unique, rare, and elusive set."

No wonder I wasn't familiar with the set. Thanks for sharing.

+1 that's really cool

Great cards in this thread. My favorite E card front is the Cobb on bat, and my favorite back is Crofts Cocoa, but there have been many Crofts Cocoa backs posted, so I will post this, which is a great combo

My favorite as well
 

Not to step on Ryan's toes but this is my favorite as well. I've been collecting for over 25 years, never thought I'd see one much less own one.

A couple more favorites to keep the thread going.

Germany Schaefer
 

His "steal" of first base prompted the rule change making it illegal. He was also an early baseball "on-field clown".

It says 'favorite', not most attractive, right?

This is the only E card in my Bender collection.

I may be a T206 collector at heart, but the CJs are amazing if you can find them signed...

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...564acc0a_b.jpg

I'll go with these two... for now. Always seem drawn to them.

Right now these, but I have my eye on some more Wagners

https://live.staticflickr.com/4910/4...e37b882e_w.jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...1a5cb624_n.jpg

Early E cards have generally been stagnant the last decade or so. Anybody noticing an uptick in them recently?

Wanted to add that those two Nadja Cobby's are incredible.

I blame Ryan H. :D

CJ Cobb
 

1915 CJ Cobb

Lots of fantastic eye candy in this thread! Tom, you gotta quit teasin' me with your nice E222 of Lipe, which I so covet! :)

To anyone interested in the 1922 Witmor Candy card of WaJo that's in the current Mile High auction (Lot #84), don't let the lot-description hype lead you to believe it's the only example of this card in existence. The Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards pictures another example of this card. My example makes for at least three in existence, as I don't think it's the same one Bob Lemke pictured in the SCVBC.

I'm jealous, Ryan and Aaron!

Great thread.

My favorite.

Apologies if this one has been posted. I didn't think I had seen it in this thread. Leave it to me to follow up that 9.5. :D
Prior to this thread, I was sure I wanted to pursue a T206 Cobb, but now I am thinking about the E cards again...particularly Wagner. Not sure which way to go!

Lol

Maybe, just maybe Schalk should have been the first catcher to be inducted
into the HOF. His numbers compare to Roger Bresnahan AND he stayed clean
in the 1919 World Series.

I posted my favorite E card in Post #6. But, I have to include this dude here.....the Bris Lord E104 card whose image is actually that of Sherry Magee.

Aaron- that’s pretty beast to see two of the three Nadjas in back-to-back posts!

Bryan - only Cobb and Wagner. But E cards are super underrated and undervalued in my opinion, especially considering they are almost always rarer to much rarer than T cards.

Ted- I love the mislabeled Magee

I owned a half dozen Wagner issues before I fell forever for this one.

https://i917.photobucket.com/albums/...dersWagner.jpg

Though not officially E-cards, these 1913 Oaks are most likely to have been made by Cardinet Candies, so would be E-cards if classified. Also adding my E221 Bishop San Francisco, matching bookends of E100 type 2 Rapps, and another E222 for good measure

Awesome cards guys! I don't think anyone has shared this one. [emoji1696]

none of those suck

Agreed. Although not all are “E” cards

Color me embarrassed, but the E card thing COMPLETELY went over my head. I thought e card was for electronic...digital scan of a card :p:p:p

The brain fart is now over, and I modified the pic :)

*walks out of the room sheepishly

Lol. No need for that. Beautiful cards!

Unlike the commentator on the backside, I am still not sure about the legitimacy of my example, as the thin paper silhouette and deep purple background portion is pasted onto front, but it is nice to know that my odd little E94 McGraw (Not Lentz) potentially has a 3-fingered friend.

Brian

Ed, nice cards! I especially enjoyed seeing your E222 card of Smith because I collect cards of Virginia League Players, and I'm working on this extremely tough, 12-card set, which I doubt I'll ever complete before I croak (I have 9 of the 12 cards - I need Lipe, Revelle & Ryan).

To collectors unfamiliar with the E222 set, the card fronts AND card backs for EACH player were printed in more than one color (I'm not sure how many different colors). Also, the card backs have 3 different border designs AND 6 different type faces - a few players have been found with 2 border designs and 2 type faces. The chance of a collector ever completing a master set of E222 cards is less than slim and none! If you compare the two E222 Smith cards below (the blue-front card is no longer mine) to Ed's card (post #55) and Tom's card (post #24), you will see what I am talking about:

Val,
Here is a thread discussing these, which cards have which backs and possible color combos. Net54 is the leader for info on this series, many more threads discussing these.

https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=146130

Ed, many thanks for posting the link to this old E222 thread, which has better info than I provided - I have edited my post to correct a bit of erroneous info. Virtually nothing was known about the E222 cards until Tim Cathey did his fantastic research about 10 years ago and discovered who and what the "A. W. H." represented.

I have found E Card back-runs to be as fun as T206 back runs. Here is my Wagner batting back run -- Note, I am missing a couple that are confirmed and there are other possible backs that are not yet confirmed (e.g., Tango Eggs); also note that the T216 series, which is tobacco (thus the "T") has the same front and thus, in my opinion, is properly included in a back run; and finally note that the Menagerie back is an error with the back of a non-sport issue (DJ has an awesome Cy Young with a similar error back earlier in this thread).

I need to put pics on multiple posts

E Card Wagner Batting Back Run continued (and again the T216 are tobacco)

Very impressive - I love it!

Harry Bemis E92 (Missing color pass)
 

Here is my E92 Harry Bemis that is missing a color pass. Note the color of his collar is not the normal blue but gray like the rest of his uniform. The brim of his hat is also gray not blue.



Patrick

Neither are big ticket cards, but by far my 2 favorite E-series cards for sheer aesthetics are E93 Leach and E95 Merkle (1a and 1b).


Bill

That Wagner run is freaking awesome Ryan!

Ryan, please don't take offense, but the contrarian part of my makeup disagrees completely with your comment in Post #53 that, "... E cards are super underrated and undervalued in my opinion, especially considering they are almost always rarer to much rarer than T cards."

Kindly provide some specific rationale for the part of your opinion that I have emboldened. Personally, I believe there are easily as many rare T cards as there are rare E cards. Just off the top of my head and based on many years of collecting type cards, but without doing any detailed research, I believe that the rarity of the T cards in the following sets (listed in ACC # sequence) compares favorably with the rarity of the E cards from any sets you care to nominate:

T4 Obak cabinets - T5 Pinkerton cabinets - T204 T.T.T. - T208 Cullivan's Fireside - T213-1 Coupon - T213-3 Coupon - T214 Victory - T215-1 Red Cross - T215-2 Red Cross - T216 Kotton Cigs - T216 Kotton Tobacco - T216 Mino - T216 Virginia Extra - T217 Mono - T231 FANS - T-Unc. Derby Cigars - T-Unc. Plow Boy - and T-Unc. Old Mill cabinets (wrongly cataloged as H801-7, IMHO).

Please note that I didn't even include in the above list the rare cards from the following very popular T sets that most pre-War collectors are familiar with: T205 Drum & Hindu - T206 Uzit, Drum, Lenox, Red Hindu, Broad Leaf 460, etc. - T207 Red Cross - and T-Unc. Ty Cobb with the Cobb back.

I rest my case!

Val, I agree that there are many T issues that are as rare, and in some cases rarer, than almost every E issue; T214 and T215s (esp pirate) are perfect examples. I was not clear, as I meant the more mainstream E card issues (e90-1, e101/102, e92) vs mainstream T cards (t205, t206); that said, all those E cards have the same fronts, and thus are likely more akin to t206 with different back variations. So maybe you are right. I guess I just feel it’s easier to find a T card of Cobb, or Evers, or Chance (for example) than an E card.

This is my favorite E Card
 

I only have a small collection but this is my favorite for a long time and was finally able to get it last fall

You had me until you said Derby Cigar....they aren't a tobacco card whatsoever. Otherwise, good points Val.

Gimme an e271
