I asked about it in this thread a few years ago (and subsequently found proof of O'Hara), and began to think that it might not exist.
Last November, an awesome fellow board member told me that he had talked with a dealer at a show. The dealer mentioned that he received an email from a guy who asked for advice on how to go about selling 5 different raw E105s, including Jacklitsch. I was able to email the dealer and ask about these cards, and he said that the seller was going to have them graded and submit them to an auction house. I kept an eye out for that grouping; they were just auctioned last week. I was able to pick up two that I needed, including the unicorn. I'm finally at the midway point: 25 of 50. I may never complete this set, but at least now I know that it is indeed possible.

Daryl,
I was hoping you got that when that group sold. I got skunked on all those. I'm very happy for you! Interesting that the listing said it is "one of two."
