"Hand Cut" E95s

[Vintageclout]

Just to clarify, I happen to know for a fact that the E95's in Goodwin's auction were "hand cut" from a sheet which is why they reflect robust color and are virtually pristine. A vintage collector cut up the sheet many years ago and fially decided to have them graded and sold in an auction. Unfortunately, he should have kept the original sheet intact....God only knows what something like that would have went for!

Regards,
Joe

After discussing with a board member about the blank back e95/E96s I tried looking again for a scan of the Davis card. Couldn't find it on any of my old computers but found a print out of the card buried under a pile of stuff. Sold back in 1999-2000 to Keith Olberman............Jerry

That reminds me of this one...

I think the key on the 3 cards is that unlike the E95 cards which have been found and are definitely cut from notebook covers, the particular Kling, Davis and Chance NY have never been found to have been printed on any notebook covers and the interesting thing is that the team captions identify all 3 as playing on teams different from the standard issue or notebook pictures. I still believe these cards are one of a kind proofs which were designed for a 1913 set which never came in to fruition. I know I will never sell the Chance and Kling. If you see them for sale someday, you'll know tbob has passed away to that cardboard heaven in the sky....

You can see the cards from the cut up sheet referenced in post 9 by searching "e95 authentic" here:

Can anyone include a link to the Goodwin and Ebay auctions?

Bryan, your link to Goodwin didn't bring anything up.

You have to search "e95 authentic" in that search box. The most refined link I can send for Goodwin (short of sending the links to all 25 lots one at a time) is for the specific auction where they sold - y'all have to enter the search terms.

I just recently sold my last E95/E96 blank backs on ebay a couple of weeks ago and they are different than the Davis/Chance/Kling...those three have team changes like Bob said but also seem to be of thinner stock....The E95 Plank blank back I sold within the past year had "cut-out" lines and was more similar to the three cards I just mentioned.....these cards caused quite a spirited discussion on the "old old" board back in the late 90s.......Jerry

Here is the Plank that I thought was more similar to the Chance/Davis/Kling.......Jerry
