I have never worked on the set, but over the years, I have seen more Wagners than Mathewsons than Delahantys. I would love to hear from one of the guys who has really tracked the sales of these cards for a long time.

I would imagine that less than 10 of each exist today.

Graded pops of the three are all similar, but I was previously told that Matty is tougher than Wagner. Admittedly, that comment was before the most recent find of a beautiful E107 Matty that ended up being sold at a live auction in Baltimore this year.

The SGC + PSA graded pops of the three are: Wagner (4), Matty (4), and Delahanty (5). Obviously, this doesn't account for the raw versions of each of the 3 biggies, but I think Kevin is accurate in his statement that less than 10 of each have survived. Putting it another way... I have not heard any evidence that suggests there are more than single digit pops of any of those 3 cards.

Tough cards, all three.

maybe someday...

Based on above discussion that less than 10 copies likely exist on those 3. This is what I have typically heard about the commons also. Do you know if this is the consensus?
That there are likely less than 10 examples around of each of the E107's?

Greetings, I have a few E107's in my collection also. I would be very curious to know the scarcity of these cards. I put togeteher an E107 Database with links to the photos. It is almost complete. If anyone has the missing cards LMK.

Seth,

You may never see images of some of those team variations, some have only a couple known. Most of the near sets are only missing team variations.

To answer another post above, some of the subjects have dozens known, mostly A's players, such as Hartsel and Pickering.

Frank,

I think that is probably a fair assumption, but I do know of a couple cards that have more than a single digit population. So, while it is probably a fair estimate for most of the cards, a couple are a touch more "common" than others. On the other hand, some are downright scarce and I'm not even sure that one of every single card has survived.

Some of the backs state "one of a hundred and fifty prominent baseball players" To my knowledge, there aren't 150 different players that have been found on cards. I think the number is 147, but couldn't swear to it - since I am largely focused on the HOFers instead of the entire set. There are team variations of a few players, so the number of known cards is more than 150, but the number of known players is not. The checklist is presumed to be complete with less than 150 players, though.

Editted to defer to Scott's knowledge of the set population since it far surpasses my own. (I didn't see his post before responding.)

Richard (Timelord),

Wow....nice site. It is nice to see all the images compiled in one place.

Does anybody know how many E107 Cy Youngs exist? I'm asking because I'm getting one soon and just curious to know exactly how rare it is.
