Default Re: Question for the E90-1 Experts

Barry S.
You are correct in your observation about the artists. Lew Lipset observed the same thing in his seminal essay 25 years ago. Clearly many of the rarest cards-Duffy, Mitchell, Sweeney, Graham, Young (Cleveland), and Gibson (Back) were drawn by a different artist. No doubt there are others. There are e92s done in the same style as well. Collins and Bender come to mind. This is just one of several criteria that need to be considered in trying to unlock the mysteries of E90-1s distribution.

Ted,
The fact that there are 120 subjects in E90-1 is purely coincidental. It has nothing to do with 30 card sheets. There would have been 119 had not some genius realized that Clarke had the wrong team designation.

It would be entirely appropriate if Buffalo hosted the E90-1 convention since the two finest sets in existence happen to reside here (not mine, of course). Shall I block out a couple hundred rooms at our new Embassy Suites downtown?
