I was watching that Baker and wondering if there was some variation I'd maybe missed... or if it was the back type? Seemed high to me, but I'm nowhere near as knowledgable on the caramel sets as others on here, so usually figure someone saw something that I didn't.

We now know that it exists as before it was doubted if it did. The normal card says J Franklin Baker.

The O Leary 80 is a mythical card to E121 collectors. Might be one of a kind.

Brian, it might make sense to title the thread something more descriptive than "Wow", so that someone searching for E121 info (or someone who could contribute to the thread) would be more likely to click on it.

"Wow" just strikes me as something which could just be a train wreck coming (of course, I clicked on it, so who knows why I did)....

Just my .02....

Some of these were going for some fairly big numbers. My bids for the most part didn't even make it to the show. Guess I brought a peashooter to a gun fight. Did score a new back type for me on the Elmer Miller card although it went for a little more than I thought it would.

The Baker card was a variation (Frank Baker rather than the much more common J. Franklin Baker). The O'Leary is a new card. Both the first examples that I've seen from this set. The reverses on each are the much rarer Type 3.

As a back collector, these types don't really do it for me. I understand that as set collectors going for master sets these are big news items. Congrats to all of our members who filled holes. This type of find doesn't come up very often.

Well, my E121-80 haul arrived today. Very nice in my opinion. USPS gave us some worries as the cards first went to New Jersey and then to Bell Gardens sorting center which is known for losing packages then to Los Angeles sorting that has the same reputation then to San Bernardino (has a good reputation). Excited and pleased that they arrived.
