I have never seen or heard of a E104-1 combination with the "World's Champions" tag line on front with the Nadja back. I have only seen blank backs on the E104-1s with the "World's Champions" tag line on front(similar to the D359 and T208).

If you are talking about the ones without the "World's Champions" tagline on the front, E104-1s do come with the Nadja back. They are tougher than the blank back E014-1s without the tagline, but they are out there.

By far, my favorite images! The guy (I'll assume it's a guy) who purchased the Legendary t208 overpaid by a bunch. If REA sells them as individual lots, I would guess they go under $10k for a common even in EX condition.

Rman- your numbers sound right. I know of one other complete set and two other guys who have 1 example. Very tough, but obviously obtainable if you are patient.

Wes... I was gonna say that.

I think the d359's and e104's have been beaten down lately, but they will do OK in the future. It should be a more popular set in that it has a great set of images, players, and they are available in bread, tobacco, or candy form. Unfortunately, this is as close as I will come to a t208...

...and how do we know that these "Nadja's" with 1910 Champion overprints aren't blank back d359's or even T208's ??

Wow, DK! A third complete set and a few more stragglers out there. I think Jay Behrens had around 6-8 of them as well? Sounds like I was a little low on my estimate of the T208 population.

I think typically we double what is known so if there are around 4 of each known, the total that exist may be around 8 of each card?

That is a small number, but certainly not as tough as some of the other neighboring T-sets:

T214 Victory
T215 Pirate
T216 Virginia Extra

maybe even

T215 Red Cross
T216 Mino

The population for any given card in the T208 set might be higher than singles from the other rare sets, but because the T208 set is smaller (18 players), the overall population for the T208s is lower.

So many of the T208s are in the complete sets, that in order for type collectors to find a single example, they really had to pay super high prices in the past. It will be interesting to see if this is still the case with the introduction of so many into the marketplace in the next few months.

Ah, yes. The old arguement of type collector vs. player collector. If all you want is the back, then you have to pay through the nose. If you care about what is on the front, then you have to overpay because of those crazy back collectors.

What kind of bizarro world is that.

A Ty Cobb card from a set of 15, where there are 10 known of each will cost me more than a Ty Cobb card from a set of 200 where there are only 2 known of each.

Nuts.
