Nothing wrong with T206's, they are the Morgan Dollar of card collecting and a dealer's dream, lots of supply AND demand. I put my set together many years ago. The back matrix has now picked up an entire new spectrum of collectors and really requires some indepth research, which many collectors thrive on. I know for a fact that the few sets I still collect, I researched and studied the ins and outs(no not that thread), of the subject matter, before during and after the hunt. One of the things I really liked about E107's was the difficulty of completing the set, no amount of money can do it, just time and searching and shear luck. This is also true of the set I now collect.

E107's
E107's are my favorite set, hence my user id. I've been following the set for the last 8 years now. I always read threads related to them, and I think some of the most knowledge collectors about the set are board members here.
The black and white Horner portraits always fascinated me, compared to a color lithograph. I will be following the sales of some of the cards tonight, but won't be bidding. There are too many great cards coming up all at once, and my budget can only go so far! I'm still saying $165K on the Matty tonight. Here is my E107 Plank: Tony

There was one time when I had 3/4ths of the set complete. I've always had challenges trying to remain focused on a project long enough to complete it. There's so many cards in so many other sets that I really like and it was difficult for me to have several hundred tied up into each common and then anywhere from 4 to 15k tied up into each Hofer.
What's that? You don't believe I had 3/4ths of the set complete?? Oh, my fault, should have added that it was a Type 2 set I was going for....

Type 2
Brian,
How close did you come to completing the Type 2 set? In your opinion, which type 2 is the toughest? The Delehanty? Tony

Hey Tony! Hope you are well....
I had 6 of the 8 cards, although I was able to acquire a 7th, Tenney, at a later date. Still have that one actually. I'd say the toughest would be Seybold. I've never been able to confirm that a Type 2 Seybold even exists. All the others I've seen anywhere from 2 to 5 examples of including Tenney and Waddell, which was the most recent addition to the Type 2 checklist a few years ago. The Delehanty was far and away the most expensive but not the toughest. Each time I've seen a Type 2 Delehanty up for auction it goes between 12-15k. Lajoie is the Type 2 I've seen the most of to date. I won Chris Sullivan's Type 2 Keeler a few weeks back from Legendary. First time in years that I think I've owned an e107 HOFer...

I went as far as to touch base with a few of the longtime collectors not on Net 54 to see if they had a Seybold or could confirm it's existance. In some cases, I had to have a buddy of mine from here contact someone they knew to tell me "yes" or "no". Funny enough, I was able to contact Keith Olbermann once, through a good hobby friend of mine who knew Keith and was kind enough to be willing to reach out to him on my behalf. Turns out, he didn't have one either...heh!

Seybold
If you or Scott can't confirm one, and Chris Sullivan didn't obtain one, maybe the Seybold doesn't exist?
