These are the ones that I do not have a photo match, but I believe are accurate representations of the player's face. The Chance and Overall E91 cards are profile shots, so I do not have a very good match, although I think the Overall seems to share facial traits. Long ago I have actually seen the exact action photo of Reulbach that was used, and on this card they duplicated the body. The Chance...well, what can you do.

Great info, Brian. The A series has always held the charm....

Don't forget about the 16 cards in the B series that are repeats (with same player designation on front) of the A series.

I'd love to have another Matty.

Beautiful set; loads of variation and incredible color.

Not a set I collect, but this is some neat work, Brian. Cool to see that they are not as generic as once thought.

As I put the finishing touches on the E91 file, for my son (Hobby/Business partner); has anyone come across any more pic comps for Chance? I was just gonna let it go but this group is definitely the place to ask the question.
Thank you in advance. Thank you Brian and all; you sure make me look good to the kid, lol.

Congratulations Brian,

This is the first time I've ever looked at the E91 cards as anything else but poor caricatures of the players.

I'm still not interested in the set, but at least now I am beginning to have a little more acceptance of the cards.

Edited to add that I didn't realize that this was initially posted in 2017. It was worth bringing it back for a second look, because I missed it the first time around.

It is still alive Fred; still some unsolved questions, pics for comparison, etc. I just posted again (above) on Chance; it musta brought the thread out of the mothballs, lol.

Thanks Fred, and thanks again Ben. I believe I originally left off E91 from the thread title (and stuck T206 in there) because I knew that most collectors would glaze their eyes right past it at the mere sight of 'E91'. The cards are not my favorite, but they deserve to be viewed without that tough to shake 'generic' label...almost half of the 99 cards are not!
