Thanks again Aaron!

I have also seen a few boxers as well.

Aaron,

I have released all of mine from the grading slabs. Actually none of my collection reside in slabs.

Aaron, that's awesome information. Thanks for sharing it and congrats on acquiring the Baker. It sounds like its time for a third run at the set with the third time being the charm and all.

Richard, great to see your post and thanks for sharing the Wagner batting. Yet another Wagner card that is much, much tougher than his T206!

Here's my E125 Gibson framed with his M101-2 and Notebook cover. (same pose)

Great scans and info, guys. Would really love to see a front and back scan of Murphy if you please.

I have made a run at the set twice and both times I was missing Murphy & Baker. When I did the article with Old Cardboard I was missing Baker, Cicotte, & Murphy. The Cicotte scan was provided by the Dreiers who went on to complete the set (as was stated by REA) after I sold mine. They, in turn, sold their set through Legendary Auctions which was put out of biz by the feds when Doug A. and Mark T. were arrested. I don’t know if there was a Murphy or not, it is the only one I have never seen.

Hey Aaron,

We loved putting together the E125 set and had as much of it as known/possible at the time.

Really cool cards, but they were a pain to handle and display. We really did enjoy putting together oddball sets . . . Just seeing all these in pictures brings back great memories!

Heritage has had some of the scarcest e125s in their last couple of auctions. Two copies of Plank (there was only 1 known before), a couple of Wagner/batting (even though bat tips were missing), a couple of Benders (makes 4 known but none of them have the glove), and a couple of Murphys, as well as an elusive Krause and Hartzell. Last but not least a multiple Bakers and a Speaker batting. All very tough cards but with so many new ones coming to auction the last couple/few months, will it make them more collectible for set collectors? Or does it just soften the prices? I guess time will tell. Still some of the most beautiful cards/die cuts/"paper dolls" in the industry in my humble opinion.

Congrats to all that acquired them! Happy collecting!
