These are fun! If you're thinking of getting more, I'd recommend:
1) Check out Brian's thread on the end panels, which I found extremely helpful:

2) Make sure you're familiar with the T202 Dover reprints; one occasionally sees end panels from these listed on ebay.
3) Make sure you're familiar with the 1993 Upper Deck T202s; the differences will be obvious in hand, or if there's an image of the back, but front images could potentially be somewhat misleading. I haven't seen them listed on ebay nearly as often as the Dover reprints, but it does happen.
4) If you're looking at Cobbs online, make sure you're familiar with the 1956 Gentry Magazine Cobb. It'll never confuse you in person -- it's much larger -- and the actual Cobb image is slightly different so even online it wouldn't pass close examination; but the remainder of the design is similar enough that whenever I see one my first thought is "T202 end panel".
There may also be other T202 reprint sets out there that I'm not familiar with; if so, hopefully someone else will chime in.
Good luck with your hunt!
