Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>Are there scarcer colors in this set for certain players? I have see many different colors. Do the red ones or other colors command a premium due to scarcity? Any help would be appreciated.

Posted By: <b>Dan Kravitz</b><p>I think the blues and greens are more difficult to aquire, but I remember a thread recently that disputed that. I just seem to see more orange and red than any other color. Just my experience/opinion.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>There is no noticeable difference for E98s as there is for the E94s as far as I can tell. Rob A. is a good person to ask. He is close to completion for the master set.

Posted By: <b>Bruce</b><p>In contrast to the post above, almost half of my set is green. The others (plus dupes) are divided somewhat equally. I would say that there is no premium for the different colors. Although there is definitely premiums for certain non-HOF players.

Posted By: <b>BcD</b><p>The rarities of colors seem "player" sensitive. Certain players in a given color are much harder to find then the same player in the so called rarer colors! I think this disputes the idea that certain colors are rarer as a general rule.This is both true of E-94's and E-98's. This is my findings after compiling three complete sets of each. Right now in addition to the E-94 master set for example I have an almost complete E-94 set in all purple which are supposedly more difficult to find. I assure you it depends on the player.<br />And of course certain players are easier to find within the rarity of both sets so those players will be easier to find in so called rare colors as well. I have four e-98 "Miner" Brown's for example right now.This player is easier to find in Blue than in red.....go figure.<br><br>BcD <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dan Kravitz</b><p>I think that you are correct. Since collecting mainly Cobb cards it seems that they are seldom seen in blue or green. I'm not certain about other players in the set.<br /><img src="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i12/chiprop/File0188.jpg">

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Dan,<br />That is a beautiful Cobb. Let me know if you ever get tired of it. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />I agree that color difficulty seems to vary with players, but for some reason most of my E98s are blue and green.<br />JimB
