“Every collection should have at least one card from this set….”

I wasn't joking ever collection should have one. I am super excited to have what is probably the rarest of the rare versions in the mail on the way to my collection now.

M116 Sporting Life.

If you track the history of baseball cards the prime major league card sets in order are (this was off the top of my head so please excuse me if I omitted something):

Old Judges
E107
T206
M101-4/5
E121
Goudey
Leaf/Bowman
Topps

There is a story behind the timing of the issuance of most of these sets and, if so inclined, a card from each of these sets would make a nice display and talking piece.

Agree with above. It's so crazy that e107s even exist. Just a random 1903 candy issue, and it's maybe the most beautiful set ever made.

Am not familiar with the E 107 set - would you posting an image or two?

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, the 1950 Bowman set is pure art. Most of the 1951 Bowman images are just cropped versions of the 1950 issue.

Not including w600 type 1s, the E107 set, which uses many of the classic t206 Horner images (6 years before t206) has rookies of Wagner, Mathewson, Bender, Chance, Plank, Joss, Waddell, among others. Plus it’s got a ton of other HOFers, including the e90-1 Young image, Ed Delahanty’s last card, Lajoie, Keeler, Ned Hanlon (who is tough to find), etc.

Here are some HOFers

E107s are awesome, Belfast, but be prepared to spend a whole lot of money for one.

An Old Judge for sure. Took me years to find one that struck the right balance of pose, condition, and cost for me. So pleased to have finally added one to my collection
