It would be neat, but it does include the Jackson and for the price if I ever had the money I still couldn't bring myself to pay that much for one of the worst looking cards from the set.

One of the reasons I like the E90-1 set is the fact that, unlike many of the other small sized candy issues of the era, there is unique artwork seen in the set. Artistically speaking many of my favorite E90-1 cards happen to be on this list as well.

It may take some heat for being "ugly" put the joe Jackson is the only purple card in the set and a very distinctive card!

HAHA maybe that is a reason I don't like it. I was just telling a friend this morning that purple is my least favorite color.

Purple is the color of dentistry...St Applonia...the patron saint of Dentistry wore purple...and this is why dental school graduates wear purple...like Prince!

We are going of topic (but hey I don't mind keeping this thread on the front page), but Purple is a color of distinction and a symbol of royalty. Yet I am still not a fan. It was an epiphany I had last year when a customer wanted me to design something for them and wanted the background to be purple, I kept finding myself trying to make it more blue (I had to finally concieve that the client wanted purple, and I would have to give it to them).

Because of Steve's recent post concerning the lack of card history posts (and I interpret that to mean informational card posts as well), I decided to unearth this 9 year old thread and give it life again. Why the heck not?

Nice Brian.

Here are examples of all the backs listed in the first post, except the T216 Virginia Extra, which I have never owned. I also added a Menagerie back, which is a mistake on a Wagner batting I own and a blank back, which comes on a Wagner Throwing front. Also, E90-2 and E104-II have the same fronts, although the E90-2 has the same back as E90-1 and the E104-II back is blank.
