E121 Variation Discussion

Posted By: Andy Cook

I have both versions of the E121 Series 80 Jeff Pfeffer - one with Brooklyn and one with Cardinals. The Cardinals version has the tougher back with the first line ending with "eighty". Does anyone know if the Cardinals version is also available with the easier back. Anyone know of any cards that are only known with the tougher back?

Andy, I have only ever seen the Pat Shea with quotation marks in the tougher back set, or I have only ever seen the no quotes with the easier back.

I have a E121-80 Pfeffer - Brooklyn only.

I think the "HY" Myers is series of 80 and HY Myers is series of 120. That's what I have anyway.

This is why I like the 1920's sets, you never seem to stop finding variations.

then why are they both listed in the Standard Catalog as both in the Series of 120?............things that make you go "Hmmmmmmmmm"......just curious as I can't find a Series 120 of "HY"

Daryle,
I can't answer your question. I have those two Myer examples in my collection though.

Andy--I don't know the answer to the second question (whether there are any E121 series of 80 cards known only with the tougher back), but I personally know that the Pfeffer Cardinal version is available in both the regular back and the one with the first line ends with "eighty" back. Hope this helps,

Brian
