I don't think this is any surprise coming from me, but I agree with E92. A basic Dockman set isn't too bad to complete, but the rest, as far as I'm aware, have never been completed or have all possible cards known. Personally, I'm really partial to the red Crofts as they really stand out and the Nadja as they were the first "impossible" set I've started. If anyone has any other red crofts, i'm always looking for more!

I agree that e92 is awesome in its back types...7 diff back types?? So to be different I nominate e94. Each front is available with one of seven possible colors...lime green, dk green, red, violet, gold, blue, orange. Additionally there are all of the different bag stamps out there... And a minor variation of quotations versus missing quotations on the back which no one really pays any attention too.

E94 folks!

e107 by a landslide for me. Such a unique set, all alone in 1903 between the t and e card sets of 1909 and Old Judge/Mayos on the 1800s.

My favorite is the E222 A.W.H. Caramels set because, (1) these cards are super scarce, and (2) the players are Virginia Leaguers (I was born and have lived all of my76+ years in VA). This very small, 12-card set is most interesting (to me, anyway) in that the fronts and backs come in different color combinations and there are 6 different back designs (5 diff. are shown below). Also, cards have been found with A.W.A. Caramels advertising - this is believed to be a printing error. I have 9 of the players in this set - I'm missing Lipe, Revelle & Ryan - I will trade my first born for any of these 3!

I hadn’t seen the E222 before. Neat to see. Does your first born know of your plans if a Lipe surfaces?

My favorite caramel set is a tie between E93 and E98. The only thing I don't like about E98 is the "Cy" Irv Young card. But it has my favorite Matty pose and a great Connie Mack example.

My favorite E-card is the E-Unc Blue Caption Honus Wagner pictured below. There is just something about this card that I love. The set only has four known subjects to date and is very obscure so I wouldn't say the set is a favorite of mine, just this card is a favorite.

ETA: Not my card, should've said that in the first place. My bad to current owner of this card.

Have you ever seen one of the A.W.A backs in the wild that Is reported? I share your love of Virginia and this is an awesome piece of history!

Agree with Ryan - E92.

It is not clear to me what you mean by your question. Here's the link to the E222 with an A.W.A. back that was once part of Leon's collection that was auctioned by Heritage in 2015:
