Issued in 1910 by the Texas Gum Company, the E105 series was a 50-card set that shares its checklist with the E92 series of cards, with an attractive, green ad on the reverse. Printed on unusually thin paper stock, it is theorized that many of the cards were folded vertically so that they could be inserted into the gum packs. Many of the surviving examples are found with horizontal creases down the center. The cards are particularly scarce today, and are quite a condition rarity as well.
One of just nine examples of Eddie Collins' E105 card to have passed through PSA and SGC combined, just three of which have graded higher than 1 (all three graded GOOD 2). This example bears the ubiquitous vertical crease, heavy in this case, with additional surface abrasions contributing to the grade. Corner wear is heavy, the card centered very high. Still, a very scarce Hall of Famer from a desirable issue.
