Actually, being a bit backwards myself, my claim that only Rob and myself realize that E91's are kinda special was a little cheek in tongue. I have noticed that the prices do seem fairly strong for this issue as of late. I still think E91's are misunderstood by the vast majority of collectors, and someday I will redo my article, typing it up in a much larger, readable form and armed with all the appropriate comparision scans, and make an even better case that most of the facial artwork of the E91A set and the majority of the E91B set is based upon photographic images that can be seen in other card sets of the era.

Some Day.

I just wished they hadn't used the Kewpie Doll artist, and not even bothered issuing the E91C, or even the E91B set, because they just planted the 'generic' idea in our collective mindsets.

Over time I have also noted that both the E91B and E91C sets seem slightly more available than cards from the E91A set. Also, I don't believe the Slagle to be any less common than the rest of the E91A cards.
