Toughest cards from different caramel sets
 

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I picked up a E93 Chance today....had heard it is one of tougher cards in the set to come by...(although overpaid for it). <br /><br />I'm curious if anyone wants to take stabs at the hardest cards to come by in any of these sets...<br /><br />E90 <br />E91<br />E92<br />E93<br />E94<br />E95<br />E96<br />E97<br />E98<br />E99<br />E100<br />E101<br />E102<br />E103<br />E104<br />E105<br />E106<br />E107

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>based on my completing these sets, these were the toughest for me:<br /><br />E90-1- Upp and Shean.<br />E93- Delehanty.<br />E94- Bates, Magee or Lobert not taking in to consideration colors.<br />E96- Herzog horizontal.<br />E97- Nichols, Kelly, Rossman and Steinfeld spelled correctly.<br />E98- Coombs and Vaughn not taking in to consideration colors.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Matt-<br /><br />My understanding is even within these sets there are a few cards that are just harder to obtain..not really because of price but just because of availability.<br /><br />Bob-<br />Interesting...I would assume though along with your E90 cards you listed you would still put Duffy, Clarke, etc in there?

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Dave- Walsh, Duffy, Speaker, McLean, Wagner throwing were all tough, but for me I got to the end of the set and had to wait many months for Upp and years for Shean. The E90-1 Shean was the toughest card I have ever run across when trying to complete the sets from E90-E99. I know that there are a lot of killers in the E100-107 sets but I didn't (don't) collect those.<br />Bob

Posted By: <b>Tony Andrea</b><p>Other tough E90-1's -<br />M. Mitchell, Sweeney (Boston), Stahl, Gibson (rear view),<br />Lobert, Seigle, Young (Cleveland), Dougherty, Howell (wind up),<br />Keeler (red portrait), Karger, Donovan, Richie, O'connor & Graham.<br />The Larry Mclean card although already mentioned is nasty tough <br />and doesn't get the hype the Shean card does but is rarely ever <br />seen.

Posted By: <b>Bruce MacPherson</b><p>My take on the sets I have completed or nearly so<br /><br />e93: None - Pastorius was my most difficult, but several examples have shown up in the last year.<br /><br />e96: Fierce competition on the popular cards (Herzog, Mack), but none stand out as the most difficult.<br /><br />e97: The ones Bob mentioned plus the obvious Sullivan cards<br /><br />e98: Coombs, Vaughn and Tenney - no surprises there, but I followed this set very closely for years and I believe Vaughn may be the toughest. Oddly it was my first e98 and was acquired from the esteemed Marquette collection.<br /><br />e102: The typical four variations, with Doyle (bat) being the one I have seen the least.<br /><br />e104-1: Lapp, Baker and Strunk; not sure if they are more difficult, but I can't seem to find them.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>I would add Connie Mack to the E98 tough list. E93 Chance is also tough in general, but particularly in ex or better.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Very interesting takes on the different cards thus far. <br />Is there really a more difficult e99 or e100 to find besides all of them? <br /><br />Jim-I wasn't sure how tough the E93 Chance was...but was happy to get it none the less...hell a chance to show it twice in one day <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/E93ChanceSGC30F.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>I thought i've seen info somewhere before...but cant find it doing a search...can anyone take a wild guess at total populations for each series in existance? I would imagine E90's are more plentiful overall than any of the other sets....but I don't even know that for sure.
