amazing info in this thread ! and amazing card everybody !

in summary (I think)

No complete sets are known to exist, although I've heard there's one collector who is one card short.

There's a famous trade from a few years ago that involved a fairly extensive E107 collection.

The Legendary E107 offering this summer at the National is widely anticipated. Thoughts are that a private sale is the preferred outcome and, given the rarity of the set, is a distinct possibility. Many of us collectors would love the opportunity to bid on specific cards from the set, though!

From a personal collecting standpoint, I have a nice team set run from E107, short only one card [a very tough one -- I've never even seen a scan]. Took me about 8 years to put that team set together.

interesting the fact that 1 collector are at 1 card short to complete the set... I am curious about how much a complete set of E107 can bring at auction, in low grade....IF 1 day a complete set is discovered and put at auction.

Cool thread bump.

I've never really liked or appreciated black and white cards, but with E107 I could make an exception (if I could ever afford a HOFer, which is what I mainly collect). I was keeping an eye on the recent Keeler that sold in the recent legendary auction. Quite the beautiful card....

Keeler keeps taunting me, said the underbidder.

Barry is right I did once own that card. I bought it at the St. Louis national in The 90's. Had it graded at the show as I recall. It was in a odd ball bunch of raw cards and I bought it for its sticker price of $10.00. For about 20 years I had worked with Cynthia Plank in Watertown Mass. She was a relative of Eddie, granddaughter I think - thanks Cynthia where ever you are these days - Maine I believe. Should have held on to it, but got rid of it when I realized how impossible the set was and I am basically a set collector.
