e102 "variations" on Ebay tonight --- dismal performance

[Archive]

Posted By: Brian McQueen

It seems that e102s are starting to heat up in the market a little bit. I had 15 of them in BST a week ago and they all sold immediately. Tonight, the entire set was auctioned off individually on Ebay. Some of the easier cards to find got some really strong prices like the SGC 60 Miller (batting) that went for $999. Many of the commons went well above the market average so Mastro should be very happy with them. The HOFers all turned in a strong performance as well with many exceeding expectations. The only cards that didn't seem to do that well were the four scarce variations.

Keeping in mind that most e102s are very obtainable with the exception of the variations which show up very, very rarely. The Miller fielding in a 20 holder went for $566 when this card in this grade has gone for well over $1000 in the past. I was the underbidder on it and really just trying to take a lucky shot but still, I was one of only two people that bid over $379 on this card. The Doyle batting SGC 40 and Schmidt SGC 20 also seemed to do badly. The Schmidt only reached $306; last year, I remember paying about $800 for this card in a 10 holder. The only variation which seemed to do pretty well was the Wagner fielding but even this one seemed a bit low considering how nice it looked.

So "What happened with those variations" is my question for you all I guess. I've been following this set for a while and have noticed that while the set in general has heated up as of late, the "toughies" all seem to be ice cold. Any thoughts?

Just new to this forum but I was wondering if you guys can help me learn something about the e102's. What is the theory on what company issued these? Is it possible that the Schmidt has only seen 9 total cards graded between SGC & PSA? I had 16 of these babies fall into my lap including the Schmidt and Wagner fielding and I'd love to collect the rest and anything of interest that you can share would be greatly appreciated.

This set, E98 and E101, are still of unknown mfg. You might also do a search on the forum (as you probably did) to find other info. I think the last "discovery" of a mfg was on the E92/E104 Nadja sets, being found to be mfg'd by Blanke-Wenneker..... regards

Looks like he is selling some good meds...wouldn't BST be the best place for it?

Did he go through the trouble of emailing his name and phone #?
