We now know that it exists as before it was doubted if it did. The normal card says J Franklin Baker.

The O Leary 80 is a mythical card to E121 collectors. Might be one of a kind.

Brian, it might make sense to title the thread something more descriptive than "Wow", so that someone searching for E121 info (or someone who could contribute to the thread) would be more likely to click on it.
"Wow" just strikes me as something which could just be a train wreck coming (of course, I clicked on it, so who knows why I did).... Just my .02.... Scott |

Some of these were going for some fairly big numbers. My bids for the most part didn't even make it to the show. Guess I brought a peashooter to a gun fight. Did score a new back type for me on the Elmer Miller card although it went for a little more than I thought it would.

Pretty strong bids on the rarities, the Baker was already known to exist with a few known copies with the type 2 back so that one went for more than I thought, I was one of the runner-ups on the O'leary which is a new addition to the checklist, the Gaston went for a relative bargain as that was only the second known example to surface of that card with a series of 80 back.

Now that O'Leary E121-80 Type 3 has surfaced, is there a realistic chance we will someday see the other missing Koester Bread cards e.g Burkett with an E121-80 Type 3 back? Not sure why N.Y. Coach O'Leary would be printed but not N.Y. Coach Burkett.

I won the Baker. I had some $ put aside in case those cards ever surfaced. I only had enough for one and thought the O'Leary would go for over 2K. I'm kicking myself over the Gaston, but I just couldn't afford it too.
My hope is that the Baker is the only one with the type 3 back. Can anybody confirm? I decided to go all-in on him since he's the only HOFer of the rare few. There were deals to be had with the other toughies. Wish I could've got them all! There's still some left through Tuesday. Good luck if any of you guys are bidding!
