I thought E106s are more difficult then E94s; he claims E94s are significantly more difficult. |

I would agree with the chart that E94 is tougher than E106. Ebay has had the same one or two E94s for a couple of months now. In that list I think the E94s through E90-3 are all roughly equal in toughness. I think there is another big jump beginning with E99 and E100 to the end of that list. Those are all seriously difficult. |

E104-III is significantly more difficult than E104-II and E104-I. Fully 20% of the "set" has been catalogued in the last decade, and there are still more uncatalogued examples out there. |

I would mostly agree with the list and can understand how some e90-1 are more tough to get than others. Almost all of these E sets have 1 or more toughies. |

The E102's are not that difficult and should be put in an easier group. |

calling e97 B/W and e107's "near impossible" is a little extreme. They are tough and you don't see them on ebay too often, but are fairly available in most major auctions. |

Nice E94s have pretty much dried up. There are a few which pop up on ebay but there are several players in the set which seem to appear only very, very rarely. Because of their eye appeal, the violets and golds have become extremely tough to find. |

I think the discussion here has split - are we talking about how hard the issue is to find, or how hard the issue is to find in good condition? |

" I see way more E93 in EX or higher than E92 Dockman (which is considered the easiest E92)." |

are probably overrated. Most everyone would agree they are not in the ballpark of E107, and they seem to have less interest than they did 5 years ago or so. |

"I would beg to differ on this. E93s in ex or lower are not extraordinarily tough, but ex/mt or above is very hard." |

E106 without the crease down the middle are tough. |

Gotta disagree in that there is no way E106's are more plentiful than E94's and E102's. Just my experience |

I agree with Rhett also. The e106s are underappreciated and I found them tougher than e94 and e102. |

Well I offered an E106 as trade bait for E102s I was after, no takers... |

Frank- I will be selling loads of E102's on ebay later this month, and in my May auction. But they are all slabbed. |

Personally I feel any e card in ex or better is fairly high grade. The one I have seen the least of for sale is E221 Bishops..... |

Leon- about ten years ago I purchased two E221's from a collector in NY, and I would say each was at least EX/EX-MT. I don't recall either having a crease. |

Barry- I think you verified my point. How many have you had or have seen for sale since then? Now compare it to any other E card and tell me you have seen less ......Also, these things are rather long and I thought each had to have at least one fold in the middle to put in the candy bars? Maybe Mark M will chime in for us......regards |

Agreed with the general concensus about E106s being tougher than they are given credit for. Especially when trying to find an example without the crease/fold down the middle. |
