E92s - Relative scarcity of backs?
Posted By: JimB
Can those of you who have collected these throw out some guesses as to the relative scarcity of the different backs. I know the red Crofts candy is the toughest, but how tough is the blue compared with the black or red? How do they compare with Crofts Cocoa? What about Dockmans? How do you think they compare with other standard E sets from E90-1 - E106? Thanks, |

Jim- you left out Nadjas. While I'm not an expert, here's my guess: |

hey jim i put the value of blue crofts about 3x over a regular black back, not sure about the red as leon has sold only one so we have to go case-by-case on those. |

I agree with Barry's list with one caveat. Although the Nadja St. Louis cards seem to be on ebay constantly, only a few non-St. Louis players show up. In fact other than one Wagner, I cant recall the last Nadja HOFer that showed up for sale (other than STL cards of Bresnahan and Wallace). I would put the non-STL players at or above the Crofts Cocoa. |

Funny thing is Oldcardboard.com lists Nadja as being the most valuable back. Obviously crofts cocoa and almost all the Crofts candy are selling for more then the nadja backs. Is crofts candy, black font, selling for more then nadja too? |

Bruce is correct that the Nadja St.Louis is plentiful compared to Nadja's from any other team. |

Any thoughts on numbers. I know there are only a handful of red Crofts Candys, but how many more blacks are there than blues? Three times as many? Two times as many. Any thoughts on how much tougher one is compared with the others? |

E92s - Relative scarcity of backs?
Posted By: leon
From my personal experience (I always say that as I am a relative newbie to collecting, albeit an addicted one, but a newbie nonetheless) I have seen about 9 Red Backs including the 6 I have owned/own. I got five of them from one gentleman that was an old time dealer and was 81 yrs young. He never mentioned what color the backs were until I asked. I was quite happy when he said they were red. I have probably seen 50-70 blue backs and a few more than that on the black ones....On the Cocoa's I have seen about 200 (yes, I have seen that many) and the Nadja's and Dockmans many more than that...Except for the red ones these are obviously close approximates....As we know most old time collectors didn't give a rats patoot about backs, which is sort of interesting....They collected E92 as one set.... |

About a year and a half ago, I asked the question of how tough a Croft's Candy blue back is compared the black back. The general response I got at that time was roughly 10x more black back than blue back. |

King- I would guess your 3-5x estimate is fairly accurate. 10 to 1 just seems kind of extreme. But pop reports never really deal with the backs. If SGC or PSA have graded 100 T206 red Cobbs, do we have any idea what the back breakdown is? |

I thought SGC did break down the backs for the T206s in their pop reports...but their problem was that they have a software issue with breaking down the poses for each player. |

If SGC does it, then I guess I've never checked. Sorry. |
