E80 is about as rare as E77, perhaps a bit rarer. It consists of the 21 E79 cards plus 11 additional cards with "44 Scrappers" backs. There has been some confusion over the years to how the two sets fit together because the 21 E79 cards that are part of E80 were issued with E79 backs printed in red ink. While we now know that the red back E79s are actually E80s, that was not known when the sets were being catalogued, and the third party graders do not always label the cards in accordance with current understanding of the issue. Some of the cards in this set have 'old school' labeling as E79s with red backs, while others are labeled E80. Labels aside, this is a great set. Conditions vary, as might be expected from tough issue, but most of the condition issues are technical rather than denoting heavily damaged cards. The key 44 Scrappers back is the full body portrait of Jack Johnson and the example here is a good, solid vg-ex 50.

SGC 60 - Monte/Abe Attell, Gans/Nelson
