Great cards by everyone. I especially like yours on a few levels, Ian.

My personal fave was posted a while back.....D381...

Thanks Leon, that means something coming from someone who's owned the cards you have. The E104 definitely does not seem to come up for sale often.

I think I have seen about 3-4 of those in close to 20 yrs of (internet) looking for them....Their scarcity far outweighs their value, relatively speaking. It's not even close....They are probably 15x-20x more rare than a T206 and it's the same pose. IF only half as many people knew about them, as they do the famous one, their value would be more in line with their scarcity.

Wow, I knew it was a scarce card, and more so than T206, but didn't know that much. I think PSA has graded 1, and know SGC has graded more, but don't have access to their pop numbers. Prior to bidding, I was able to find history of 4 other previous sales on line, though expect I may have missed some.

The e107 is the card IMO, beautiful card with a beautiful pose of a young Honus...

e107s don't get the love they deserve and this card is a glaring example. This article is SCD yesterday does a good job of pointing this out:

If I had the cash I would be all over one as I consider it on of the top 5 cards in the hobby and I would include the e107 Matty as well.
