Question for the E90-1 Experts

[3-2-count]

Ted, Wagner throwing is most definitely more difficult than both Mike Mitchell and Tris Speaker from the E90-1 set.
I'm willing to bet if a poll was taken today by E90-1 collectors who have attempted the set within the last 3-4 years
they would agree as well, hands down.

[White Borders]

Thank you everyone for your replies. Your expertise is greatly appreciated. I am getting the feeling that E90-1, though much smaller than T206, could be nearly as challenging (or frustrating?). Is it a "Mini-Monster"?

Best Regards,

In the 1980's and early '90s, this Wagner was not that tough to find as you are saying....not at least at East coast BB card shows
that I attended.
Since those days, I'll agree it appears to have gotten tougher. Between the numerous Auctions and the Grading of cards since the
mid-1990's, there has been an appreciable change in the relative scarcity of cards across the entire spectrum of sportscards issues.

For example....the Mike Mitchell in 1985 was considered "the KEY card" in the E90-1 set; and, the most valuable. The Joe Jax was
just another star card. I acquired Jackson for less than $200 back in the late '80s.

I agree on the Jackson card. It's not hard to find if you have some cash.

The wagner throwing on the other hand is very difficult and I agree with Tony that it's easily one of the toughest in the set.

Collectors don't pay attention or don't realize how hard it is because they see the pose a lot since it's found in so many sets. Those throwing versions that we see are all E92s, E101s, E106s. I've even seen a couple E105s of late. I'm sure there have been a couple for sale, but I can't remember the last E90 throwing.

If you want to collect trimmed and/or altered cards, then nothing is that tough.
