The E135s and their ilk are harder to find than the m101-4s and m101-5s, which is a major reason they draw more cash. It's all a matter of preference of course, but I believe those "little" m101-4s and m101-5s have far better picture quality overall than the often grainy, washEd out look of the E135s and its brethren, which also have far more bland poses for the most part.
Todd, I wasn't putting down the the M101-4/5 series with my "little" comment as I really like those cards, they are simply smaller. I used to collect the M101's and had a few hundred of them before i shifted to other interests. If given a choice I'd probably choose a Collins-McCarthy/Boston Store as I actually prefer those images, the action shots of M101-4/5 are great but I find the E135 images somewhat unique and the cards tend to be tougher to find when taking the front image into account (irregardless if the card has a tough back or not).
