Issued by an anonymous manufacturer the 25-card set that we today call the "E102 Set of 25" issue featured some of the more popular players of the era including Hall of Famers Chief Bender Ty Cobb Eddie Collins Sam Crawford Johnny Evers Nap Lajoie Christy Mathewson Joe Tinker and Honus Wagner. Among the more difficult caramel issues in terms of scarcity the cards are in high demand today. Presented is the card unequivocally considered the key to the tough E102 issue: that of Ty Cobb. The card simply does not make itself available for public sale very often; this is a crisp bold VG/EX 4 example as graded by SGC its L-R centering clearly the primary flaw keeping the card from a higher holder. Still its scarcity coupled with its demand will result in quite a bit of competition for the card one of the earliest and most highly sought-after cards of one of the greatest players who ever lived.
