E104-1 Nadja values all over the map: Why?

[sportscardpete]

In terms of value and rarity -

nadja backed >>> world champ > blank

I think the reason why they range widely in value is because so few people collect them, and if one slips under the cracks it will go for a really small price. Also - they seem to go for a lot more in Goodwin Auctions than in ebay.

I've been collecting them for a few years now - have about 30 amongst the 3 series. Most of them are blanked back but I do have a few nadja and world champ. The nadja ones rarely come up - and when I have seen one I have paid aggressively.

It's a great set (actually, all of the sub-series are great).

My only E104-1 - great tough set!

to the E104-I's, but I think that is because I like the Phillies more than the A's.

I've always liked this particularly E104-I, though. Would be better if it was Nadja-backed, but all E104s are exceptionally tough in anything above low-to-medium grade

What's the ranking of scarcity for the e104-1s? World Champion's blank back, Non-World Champ Nadja back, non-World Champ blank back? Or no?

They will EITHER have the Champions logo on front Or the Nadja back....or the blank back. There won't be any with the Nadja back AND the Champions front. As Pete said in order of rarity from most rare to least...

Nadja back, Champions front logo, blank back

All three E104 sets are beautiful in their artwork, in my opinion. Here is my Nadja backed Type 1

So, most scarce is: Non-World Champ front with Nadja back, then World Champ front with blank back, then Non-World Champ front with blank back?

Yes, or to be a bit less verbose, nadja back, champion front, blank back.

And not to go too far off topic I am not sure sure the type 2 cards aren't the scarcest of the 3 sets with the Nadja back, even though type 3s are always thought to be the scarcest.
