Here are my two from the set. Both have the "One of a Hundred and Fifty Prominent Baseball Players" backs

Anyone have a HOFer to show from this set, that you either own, or have owned?

Here is my E107 Plank:

Obviously not mine, but here's a scan of a svelte looking Wagner on his e107:

Here is my one and only, I should have 2 but got screwed on a Verkman auction on my second one.

I thought I'd add a few of the tougher E107 HOFer images that I had on file to our library.

A few more HOFers for the gallery...

A couple more for the gallery...

Here's a scan of a SGC 10 E107 Delahanty that sold for an astounding 65k in a 2007 H&S auction!

That Delahanty is drool-worthy. I'm trying to figure out why it was graded so harshly. I don't see any significant paper loss.

Editted to add... Graded 10 Poor 10 by SGC because of a small tear along the upper border and mild blemishes on the front surface, this Type 1 card still offers an overall attractive appearance with a clean reverse.

I'll take a few 10s that look like that one please!
