I think a good chunk of the E90-1 set has its own, bold aesthetic charm. Maybe overall they are not as artistically rendered as the run of the mill T206 subject, but quite often they make up some ground with their vibrant use of color.

I too have pondered the will e-cards come roaring back question. Everything is cyclical and I believe they will eventually. Maybe not roar back, but I do think the T206 back interest will spill over the the scarcer E backs and prices will rise.

I also believe that Cobb and Wagner will always be good investments. Moreso with Wagner and his E cards due to the fact that that's really all a collector has to go after with Wagner.

I would definitely pay a premium on a scarce back for Cobb or Wagner. Even if the demand is not what it once was, they don't grow on trees. Cobb and Wagner will ALWAYS be in demand.

good luck Ryan. There are some great scarce Cobb and Wager e issues out there.

Also D304, D322, and if you count oversized items, D381, M110 & M101-2

Ryan--If you like backs and nice images try the M101-4/5 Wagners. I think you'll find the backs challenging and fun.

Of course 'Big Hands' Wagner is also found in the E135 Collins McCarthy set, and the E254 Colgan's Chips (no big hands in this issue).

Also, I don't think you can go wrong (or at least not throwing money away) in wisely picking up the big name Hall of Famers...they only have gotten consistently stronger over the years, and any downturns in value have quickly rebounded.

Totally, but I am focusing on Joe Jackson in these cards (Wags is a bit old at this point). I already have the Famous & Barr and the Gimbels. I find the M101-4/5 and the E121 and similar to be very cool from a backs perspective.

Just don't start collecting T216s and D303s.....that will drive you crazy........Jerry

Not too long ago, a E102 Cobby PSA 5 went at auction (Heritage, I think) for close to $30k. A lot of collectors still feel this is Ty's RC despite REA's opinion otherwise.
