E125 American Caramel Diecuts

[Aaron Seefeldt]

Here’s a scan of a Murray that sold last week in Heritage. In terms of scarcity it’s difficult to assess this set as every few years a few more e125s get discovered. There’s only 1 Plank known and it sold last fall in REA. A couple of guys have posted very rare HOF’ers from the set (Wagner batting & Hooper) earlier in this thread. The Wagner batting is the most valuable one in the set in my opinion, especially with the full bat attached like Richard’s above. I’ve seen 2 Benders and they’re both missing a tab and in rough shape. There are a few common players with 2 known and there are a few players that seem to have a lot more (Flynn & Wagner throwing seem to be most common).
I’ve made a run at the set 2 times and both times I was missing the Baker so I gave up as I thought I’d never get 1 of the 2 known copies. Last week I was thrilled to get the Baker in Heritage in an Auth holder. The slabs do NOT add anything aesthetically to e125s, they weigh a ton in the plastic especially when trying to store 30-35 in bank boxes. Look at how much extra plastic is around the actual cards, they look better out of the slabs
