Sorry for such a delayed response--been away from the keyboard for a good long time and just catching up to this. I have researched and written an article that I plan on sending to VCBC about this set. With my research I discovered photos of 21 of the 33 cards in the E91 set that I believe the artist used when creating these cards (but only in regards to the player's face--the bodies for the most part seem generic). A further eight player's cards were not exact matches, but in my eyes appear to be accurate depictions of the player due to facial characteristics. The final 4 cards in the set either did not seem to match the photos I had for the player, or, as in the case of one (Daniel Shay), I was not able to locate his photo.

I believe the set (especially the E91A subset and the holdovers in the E91B) are undervalued, because of how they have been tagged with the "generic" label. Perhaps the article (when my rear gets into gear) will open some eyes to a set that many collectors would rate just a notch above most of the strip card sets.
