The size of E107 cards also set the standard by which other sets - like T206 -followed. Speaking of which, the E107 set also contains what many consider the rookie card of many big named HOFers (like Honus Wagner, Nap Lajoie, and Christy Mathewson).
Given the scarcity of the E107 Wagner vs. the T206 Wagner, (the T206 is around 10x more common), it is somewhat surprising that Wagner's rookie card value hasn't mirrored the meteoric rise of the T206.
...and because it is sure to be the source of a debate... Yes, there are earlier images of Wagner on the W600 "street clothes" cabinet and the M101-1 paper issue, but the E107 is pretty much universally agreed to be a "card", the others are open for debate.) Regardless, there are a ton of early cards (some would say rookie cards) of HOFers in the E107 set.
