Discussion re E Cards -- Opinions Needed

John, congrats on the Wags and Davis. I was watching the E95 Wagner but ultimately held off, which was good bc it�s good to a net54er get. I have done several t206 back runs, and like you, I love the diversity on the back. I am strongly considering trying back runs with both e92 Wagner front poses; including e90-1, e101, e102, e105, I guess e106.... am I missing any? Is that an �e� backrun, all the front poses regardless of the e-number? Or is it just all the e92s?

Congrats on your Wagner!
Were there any e95s from this auction that looked to sell a bit low or high?
There is a Mathewson ending in a few hours but I think I may hold off. My first bid wasn't enough to take the lead.

John, I seriously have my doubts on whether the black croft's candy Davis exists. I think finding a 4th red croft Davis might be more likely. The Cocoa Davis definitely exists (http://brockelmanauctions.com/LotDet...ventoryid=5203).

Rhotchkiss, a run of both Wagner poses would be extremely impressive and one hell of a challenge. Don't forget to include the T216 (all Kottons, Mino, & VE?), D303 (General Baking, Mothers Bread), and possibly Tango Eggs? In the meantime, could I please get the Nadjas for my set first?

great pick ups everyone...this thread is comfy!!!! I've missed this card ever since I sold it maybe 3 years ago. Basically Traded it for a cut card version by tim carroll. Got one back!

Response sent...expensive would be an understatement! I also I forgot about the blank backs (at least 2 copies of the throwing pose are known) and the 1 menagerie back (batting pose).

So very helpful. Now I know the E92 Davis Cocoa back exists (wanted posters soon to go up all over town) and the black candy is problematic, my quest will narrow considerably. Listen up T-card fans: E-card backs can be entertaining, too.

As far as the Wags back run is concerned my advise is go-for-it as long as you have no other plans for the rest of your life and exceedingly deep pockets.

This is a great thread guys.

Dan, I really like your spread of E cards -- very nicely presented!

Ryan, speaking from experience, I would very much consider the availability of all of the cards that you need for a back run before embarking on such a task. I've hit a wall on a couple of pose back runs, and it can be maddening. Then again, that's the fun of collecting!

For example, I only know of two Mothers' Bread Wagners. (Please excuse showing a non-E card.

)

I do love the Cocoa back.

Cheers,
Steve

This is a very enjoyable thread, and I appreciate looking at all of the eye candy. Admittedly, I am a two (maybe three) time loser at collecting prewar. Somehow it has never clicked for me with the exception of the Obaks, but I have always wanted something else. I've never really tried the caramel/candy cards, but this thread is making me take a long look at the E92s and formulate some plans for down the road. Thanks!

The Wagner run would be awesome...throwing pose imo...and it will be tough to complete.

I totally forgot about the t216s (damn tobacco variations). Yes, it would be an awesome and expensive undertaking..... it�s an enticing idea
