E103 Set

[Webster]

These cards are too fragile. By far the nicest I have owned.

I put a lower grade set together years ago. Love the Horner images.

This is so great. Congratulations!

E103 is probably my favorite caramel set. I love the subtle hint of black in the red backgrounds, I think the images and typography are beautiful, and holy cow are they flimsy and tough to find in nice condition. Finishing the set is tough, but because they’re so hard to find in good shape, the upgrade process could be endless, if you’re inclined to do that.

Congrats!

Like others have said, this one's probably my very favorite set or at least in my "top 2". I enjoyed collecting them so much, I've completed it twice...lol! The toughest part though was rounding up some of the commons. I think in both instances, I had acquired a large group of them right from the beginning to get me started.

Sadly, I've parted with the bulk of my e103 collection, but did manage to keep around several "representatives" to count towards my oddity / printing goof type card set. Printing goofs are very difficult to spot with this set, but I've accumulated a few....most of these are of the handcut variety with oversized borders -

There is a general cadaverous feel about the player images in this set, like those creepy photos law enforcement releases of unidentified John Does where they've photoshopped open eyes onto posthumous photos. The original, unaltered Horner images are wonderful, but they really did a number on them IMO.

My E103 Crawford example likes to think the mortician attending to his corpse did a fine job making his cheeks rosy enough for any passerby at his funeral service wonder if he were going to raise up from the coffin.
