Let's Talk E90-1

[vintagetoppsguy]

I've been going back and forth over the last year or so trying to decide if I want to start this set or not. I have picked up a few HOFers along the way.





Not a HOFer, but I picked this up on eBay earlier this week:

Would be a fun challenge to assemble, someday perhaps. The Young (Bos) is the pick of the litter. That 50 is sweet.

David obviously has an extremely good sense of eye appeal, aside and apart from technical grade!

Happy collecting,

Nice Speaker Mr. Kaufman.

I like this set a lot...as Leon said...definitely the caramel equivalent of T206...it's got almost all of the stars...beautiful images...and some toughies. I've found the red background keeler portrait to be very tough.

Where were all you guys when I sold my E90-1 set in REA (all SGC graded) and got burned?

I have bought a couple of the ones I really liked in this set lately and the card shown below tonight. It's authentic but nice.
With regard to the Speaker, when I put my set together the two toughest cards were Speaker and Shean. Far and away. If you have the money you can buy any card in the set except for Speaker and Shean (and McLean) which are by far the toughest and rarely appear....

The only signed E90-1 card I've ever heard of is this Cobb from the Morey collection (no it's not mine -- I wish). Anybody ever seen another?

Boston team collectors of this set certainly have a tough time finding their guys. A number of the scarce cards
that were printed in the last (1910) series represent the two Boston teams:

Boston AL......

Hall (horiz.)
Karger
Speaker
Stahl

Boston NL......

B. Brown (horiz.)
Graham
Richie
Shean
Bill Sweeney


A wild theory of mine suggests that Ramly (Worcester, MA) had the rights to these players in 1909; therefore,
the American Caramel Co. could not portray these Boston players in their early series.
