Where is the quarter?

[jas3232]

I have the Schmidt, Wagner throwing, Miller fielding, Doyle throwing.

[FrankWakefield]

Wagner fielding is the least encountered, in my estimation. But I like Mathew's question better...

[ullmandds]

how about some scans?! personally I think the miller fielding and the wagner fielding are equally difficult...nice pickup!

[ethicsprof]

my lone e102 type is evers.
i got it from the very first auction offered by the nice fellow who often puts quarters in his posts.
it's a beaut.
all the best in your most admirable quest,
barry

by the way, it's always great seeing vintage scholar, steve m., back on board!!!

[FrankWakefield]

Here's about half of mine...



and upon reflection, the good doctor is probably right about Miller fielding being Wagner fielding's equal in difficulty.

Thank you for the grade promotion. My teachers will be pleased to learn I'm a "vintage scholar". Really, I'm just fairly good at cutting-and-pasting - a necessary job in old hobby periodicals.

I'll put them up as soon as I get them back (16 of 29) from SGC (good decision I hope vs. PSA) I'm guessing anywhere in the 4-5 range on grades but I'm certainly no expert. Can't wait to share them with you all and thanks for your input. I was hoping to complete a set now but after seeing the Cobb rookie at 14k. OUCH!!! not gonna happen.

You can get a SGC50 E102 Cobb for a fraction of a grade higher price, last year one sold for just over 2k and others in the 2-3k so don't give up !

As for the difference in condition of E101 and E102 here is a good example. I have seen more E106 Benders than E101,but again only in a three year span.

[chaddurbin]

with the e101/e102s it comes down to appearance also. alot of have diamond or oc cuts. to find a high grade (4 or 5) perfectly centered is a dream and should command a premium although on some of the players i don't know if that's possible. premium shouldn't be placed on the e102 because of the old "1908" dating as that's been proven false so the cobb is not his earliest "card".

[jas3232]

Sorry I'm new to this what's a quarter?

[Jaybird]

25% of a dollar







Leon usually pictures them next to his photos/scans

[Leon]

yes, for years I have used quarters in my scans so others can tell the size of the cards being shown......

[FrankWakefield]

In fact, Leon so often uses a quarter in his scan (for size perception, he claims) that when there isn't a quarter, some of us suspect he's pirated the image...

[ChiefBenderForever]

Are E101 a little more scarce or are they both about the same ?

[brianp-beme]

In my opinion the E102 cards are more commonly found than E101's, but not by a huge amount.

Brian

[ChiefBenderForever]

Thanks Brian, thats what I thought. At least for Chief Bender anyways, I would say the ratio is about one E101 for every to 3 or 4 E102, but I've only been watching for a few years. Also it seems that the E101 are much tougher to find in better condition which could be a result of how they were packaged or distributed.
