E107 anyone?

[rainier2004]

Thanks Sb1...that plank is amazing!

Beautiful Plank. To go along with all your other cards.

Sorry, just threw the Munro in for interest. Has to be one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. As a young kid, couldn't get her off my mind for awhile. Thanks be to GOD, I have grown up.

I agree, tough set. I am glad to have a few. But taken me awhile to get even a few, because of the cost.

My all time favorite set. Scott, that Plank is outstanding.

I'll start with these two...

Brian

Really Nice cards

Do you have an example like the one in your avatar?

[vintagerookies51]

Just posted this in the pick ups thread, bu thought I'd ad it to the E107 thread too....

[Andy Baran]

....But these were my absolute favorite cards that I owned:

2 very nice cards Andy

I know Brian just picked up a nice McGinnity (per the pick-ups thread), but I have to show my example b/c it's the only E107 remaining in my collection.

Brian was able to pry away my only other E107 a few months ago...

Very cool card Derek!

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen one grade over a 60/5? I've seen the Young a couple times.

That Plank card is great. Are the E107's available very often or is it a hard set to come by? I don't have much knowledge on the set.

It's a pretty rare set. Even poor-condition commons can sell for about $1,000. I think most of the HOFers have less than 20 known to exist, but I'm not sure. Someone else will be able to provide more information

There's a pretty decent answer on pg 2 of this thread.....

[g_vezina_c55]

amazing info in this thread ! and amazing card everybody !

[philliesphan]

in summary (I think)

No complete sets are known to exist, although I've heard there's one collector who is one card short.

There's a famous trade from a few years ago that involved a fairly extensive E107 collection.

The Legendary E107 offering this summer at the National is widely anticipated. Thoughts are that a private sale is the preferred outcome and, given the rarity of the set, is a distinct possibility. Many of us collectors would love the opportunity to bid on specific cards from the set, though!

From a personal collecting standpoint, I have a nice team set run from E107, short only one card [a very tough one -- I've never even seen a scan]. Took me about 8 years to put that team set together.

interesting the fact that 1 collector are at 1 card short to complete the set... I am curious about how much a complete set of E107 can bring at auction, in low grade....IF 1 day a complete set is discovered and put at auction.

Cool thread bump.

I've never really liked or appreciated black and white cards, but with E107 I could make an exception (if I could ever afford a HOFer, which is what I mainly collect). I was keeping an eye on the recent Keeler that sold in the recent legendary auction. Quite the beautiful card....

Harry said he wanted in.

Barry is right I did once own that card. I bought it at the St. Louis national in The 90's. Had it graded at the show as I recall. It was in a odd ball bunch of raw cards and I bought it for its sticker price of $10.00. For about 20 years I had worked with Cynthia Plank in Watertown Mass. She was a relative of Eddie, granddaughter I think - thanks Cynthia where ever you are these days - Maine I believe. Should have held on to it, but got rid of it when I realized how impossible the set was and I am basically a set collector.
