Any opinions? - If a T-215 Pirate Tobacco Ty Cobb ever came up for auction, I would assume it would be a $100K+ card. Am I correct?

hard to say Tony...100K is a strong sentiment!!!!!! Certainly could be in the right time and place!

On a much lesser scale than most of the cards mentioned in this thread, has anyone seen these E91A cards?

I am sure they are out there, but I haven't seen them and I have been collecting the set for about 5 years.

Can anyone confirm the existence of these E105s?

Rob,

All four E91A cards should be out there...and I also have the complete set, so I have them as well.

Thanks Brian!

I figured they were out there, but can't be much of an abundance. I have been all over Ebay and auction houses for years and can't remember coming across any.

There should be 8 more of these strip cards:

Mello Mint Doolan exists. Other two are among a handful I'm lacking for the set

I'd been able to locate proof of the existence of every card in the E105 set except for one: Fred Jacklitsch. There were no records of it ever being sold at auction, and there were no records in the PSA or SGC population reports. I asked about it in this thread a few years ago (and subsequently found proof of O'Hara), and began to think that it might not exist.

Last November, an awesome fellow board member told me that he had talked with a dealer at a show. The dealer mentioned that he received an email from a guy who asked for advice on how to go about selling 5 different raw E105s, including Jacklitsch. I was able to email the dealer and ask about these cards, and he said that the seller was going to have them graded and submit them to an auction house. I kept an eye out for that grouping; they were just auctioned last week. I was able to pick up two that I needed, including the unicorn. I'm finally at the midway point: 25 of 50. I may never complete this set, but at least now I know that it is indeed possible.
