Lew Lipset in his Volume 2, Early Gum and Candy Cards, does not speculate on the issuer but opens the listing (which runs about 2/3 of a page) with:
"E102 is another in the line of sets that are derived from the 50 subjects in E101. This group includes E92, E101, E105 and to a degree E106, T216 and D303. The cards show no maker and states, "This picture is one of a set of Twenty-five BASE BALL PLAYERS as follows."
"The most interesting thing about the set is that there are now 28 [actually 29] cards known..."
A guess on why Beckett does not include the set would be that it's quite scarce and has a relatively small following. The Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards has carried it for years, although I don't know whether or not it's in the current edition.
Sounds like you made a nice acquisition. Congratulations!
