E106's - Rare or Unpopular?
Posted By: Will
Trying to put my first grading submission together around some long work days. Trying to find general info on E106's - very few posts, 1 common sale on ebay. Rare or just not well loved? Estimated value of a low-mid range HOF as a nice 10? |

I think its a little of both. They are scarcer than most of the popular caramel sets. I like them because they are one of the few sets that has Federal League Players. IMO If it was a unique brand (not American Caramel Co.) and didnt have the same photos as many other sets, they would be much more in demand . |

The overall quality of e106 leads to lower demand, lower prices, and lower condition survivors, but also less examples overall which makes the set uncommon. |

Thanks for the info - boy that was quick! Mine is a Federal Leaguer (Baltimore), given as a gift many years ago. It may hit the b/s/t, so enough said by me. |

After tracking eBay for over a year and every major auction house you just don't see that many E106's come up for auction in a graded format. We have price information on 13 of the 48 cards in the set. Most of the auctions are for cards in the lower end of the grading scale SGC 10 & PSA 1. So to conclude they don't come up for auction very often so they must be very hard to find and the highest graded card we have is a PSA 4 so getting them in pristine condition would be practically impossible. |

Your conclusions Bobby, apply only to graded cards, correct? The ungraded population, its distribution and pricing is not among the data which you have ready access to - is that also correct? |

i've had a few e106's in my life and 2/3 of them were trimmed. my remaining collins is beat to hell. I think they're rarer than we think...comparable to t216's. |

Alot of the images in this set were used from previous sets.I think this would be one reason collectors aren't as keen to this collection.I've handled a fair amount of these cards (years ago),so I'm quite fond of them.Since then,I haven't seen very many of them,so I would have to say that it would be both. |

The cards are rare and unpopular...The glossy coating on the front of the cards cause them to crack..Plus I believe that some were folded in half when packaged. I own 46/48 cards with only one graded sgc50 a hand full of 30 and 20's but mostly 10's. |

Go Big Six!! 46 out of 48. Which 2 do you lack?? Anyone that close deserves some of us letting go of a singleton to help you complete the set. |

Talk about ugly. Look at this horrifying example. Creased and punched. Was there some sort of redemption on these things? |

Neither are very pretty, but I enjoy the reference to the Federal League on their backs. |

My E106s are about as ragged as everyone else's. Took me a few days to dig down to them. |

My only example is very beat up. It's good to hear more information on the set. These are my favorite topics to browse on the board, I wish there were more like this. The E90-1 multi-hundred post topic was phenomenal. |

I was flipping through my Sothebys catalog and theres a complete set of 48 E106 for sale. The cards are generally in the G to VG range but look to be relatively free of creases. |
