Great, colorful looking E106 Speaker. The glossiness seen on the E106 cards really can intensify its look.

Even non-superstars can have great looking cards. Here is a R314 Goudey Wide Pen card of Gee Walker, who also wasn't too big of a schlub...almost .300 career lifetime hitter, almost 2000 hits, almost 1000 RBI's...

I have owned a beat one in the past

I'm extremely excited to see it in person

I think you will like its look.

Here is my beat one...it serves as a great, colorful looking filler for the E90-1 Speaker I will never own.

That looks exactly like the one I owned at one time

Just got this back from the eBay Authenticator on Friday…..yes…..it’s authentic.
1914 Ray Fisher Cracker Jack Card #102. Seems like this one came in a box with a little caramel stain . And Edmond , whoever he was , signed on the back above the line. All Cracker Jack prices are crazy these days, but the 1914’s are insane. Probably paid a little too much( esp with all the tax and fee heaped on) , but glad to have gotten it.
You especially don’t see as many Cracker Jack cards for sale here on the forum as one used to.

I believe I have had my Speaker for about 20 years. If you got rid of your beater somewhere in that time range, I might just have your former card. If I remember correctly, there was a seller on Ebay that was selling a bunch of similar, well-creased (a lot of vertical creases) E106 cards around that time...perhaps that was you? If so, cool for me, and congrats on getting a nice belated upgraded replacement.

Nah Brian it was about 2 years ago I sold mine. Just very similar condition

I picked this up from a fellow board member. If/when PSA ever slabs these, look out on value (see recent explosion of M101-2)
