What's the story with the E102 set

Amen to Brian's comments about identical fronts being easier to find in other sets. Even if someone likes one of the E102 poses, it is easier to find in another set.

One more downer for the set, is that it is a caramel card set. Which means that the cards are usually found in worse shape than the white border tobacco cards of the same era. Kids would pack the candy cards around and the cards would wear more. While I don't care to collect slabbed cards, I do prefer cards that aren't just worn down to scrap. And some of the E102s are pretty worn. My Wagner batting has a seriously folded corner, and worn edges. But ya gotta love him!
