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:
