The E102 set is one of several anonymously-issued candy card sets from the turn of the century. Virtually identical in design to the E101 set as well as other E-card issues from the era this unnumbered set includes 25 subjects (some with multiple poses bringing the total subject count to 29). The E102 set is considered very scarce in comparison with other caramel and candy issues of the era and the cards are very highly desirable as a result. Spectacular collector-grade E102 card of Hall of Fame infielder Eddie Collins. One of Collins' earliest cards picturing the second baseman in his first full season with Philadelphia. The VG 3 grade assessed by SGC does not do the card justice; it is well-centered with vivid color and bright white borders the grade accurately assessed because of the rounded corners but an unfair description of how nice the card actually is.
