Anyone out there collect the E103 set?

How hard are these cards to find? In mid-grade (vg or better)? Are many of the examples you have seen trimmed or otherwise altered? Is it difficult to put together a complete set?

What else can you tell me about the set? I would be interested to hear from some collectors.

I have been avidly collecting the E103 set for about five years now. From my experience I can tell you that these cards seem very hard to find in EX or better, and if you do, it will cost you a pretty penny. My set is about 75% complete. I would say the average grade would be VG. There's a nice Devlin on eBay right now.

I bought a Bender and Rucker from TBob, not to long ago, for what I thought was a smoking price. So you might want to drop him a line. Also, I know that Dave's Vintage Baseball Cards had quite a few nice E103 for pretty reasonable prices.

Anyway, I think that the E103's are one of the harder candy set to complete in high grade. Unless your rich!Please feel free to drop me a line.
Happy Collecting!

He won the Lipset auction set. Most of them are poor to good, but there are a few nice ones. I don't know if it's a characteristic of the set, but most of these have "bad skin".
