Post Your Favorite E Card

[Rhotchkiss]

I have found E Card back-runs to be as fun as T206 back runs. Here is my Wagner batting back run -- Note, I am missing a couple that are confirmed and there are other possible backs that are not yet confirmed (e.g., Tango Eggs); also note that the T216 series, which is tobacco (thus the "T") has the same front and thus, in my opinion, is properly included in a back run; and finally note that the Menagerie back is an error with the back of a non-sport issue (DJ has an awesome Cy Young with a similar error back earlier in this thread).

I need to put pics on multiple posts

Here is my E92 Harry Bemis that is missing a color pass. Note the color of his collar is not the normal blue but gray like the rest of his uniform. The brim of his hat is also gray not blue.

Neither are big ticket cards, but by far my 2 favorite E-series cards for sheer aesthetics are E93 Leach and E95 Merkle (1a and 1b).

That Wagner run is freaking awesome Ryan!

Ryan, please don't take offense, but the contrarian part of my makeup disagrees completely with your comment in Post #53 that, "... E cards are super underrated and undervalued in my opinion, especially considering they are almost always rarer to much rarer than T cards."

Kindly provide some specific rationale for the part of your opinion that I have emboldened. Personally, I believe there are easily as many rare T cards as there are rare E cards. Just off the top of my head and based on many years of collecting type cards, but without doing any detailed research, I believe that the rarity of the T cards in the following sets (listed in ACC # sequence) compares favorably with the rarity of the E cards from any sets you care to nominate:

T4 Obak cabinets - T5 Pinkerton cabinets - T204 T.T.T. - T208 Cullivan's Fireside - T213-1 Coupon - T213-3 Coupon - T214 Victory - T215-1 Red Cross - T215-2 Red Cross - T216 Kotton Cigs - T216 Kotton Tobacco - T216 Mino - T216 Virginia Extra - T217 Mono - T231 FANS - T-Unc. Derby Cigars - T-Unc. Plow Boy - and T-Unc. Old Mill cabinets (wrongly cataloged as H801-7, IMHO).

Please note that I didn't even include in the above list the rare cards from the following very popular T sets that most pre-War collectors are familiar with: T205 Drum & Hindu - T206 Uzit, Drum, Lenox, Red Hindu, Broad Leaf 460, etc. - T207 Red Cross - and T-Unc. Ty Cobb with the Cobb back.

I rest my case!

Val, I agree that there are many T issues that are as rare, and in some cases rarer, than almost every E issue; T214 and T215s (esp pirate) are perfect examples. I was not clear, as I meant the more mainstream E card issues (e90-1, e101/102, e92) vs mainstream T cards (t205, t206); that said, all those E cards have the same fronts, and thus are likely more akin to t206 with different back variations. So maybe you are right. I guess I just feel it’s easier to find a T card of Cobb, or Evers, or Chance (for example) than an E card.

You had me until you said Derby Cigar....they aren't a tobacco card whatsoever. Otherwise, good points Val.
