Hey Dan,

Nice pickups!

I don't mean this in any pejorative sense, but I think of the Fan Craze cards as the "poor man's" E107. Early cards, with those great Carl Horner portraits. The truth is, there are not as many out there as some might think. Comparing pops graded by SGC, the Fan Craze are not that much more plentiful than E107 (and certainly fewer have been graded than most of the "major" sets of the era). The thing about them is that the grades are very different - they are skewed higher - they are generally found in much better shape. Some might say this is a good thing as the examples you see are quite presentable.

Anyways, lucky for us that the prices are not anywhere close to E107!

Cheers,
Blair
