I said "somewhat similarly" one already sold for $249K(which I thought was crazy) so you can't say the E98's aren't already in the landscape.
Again, I agree there are more rare exemplars... None of them have the story. The T206 story took 50+ years to really get a foothold, and the "mystery" of the short run is most of the mystique.
The Black Swamp Find, in my mind will in time be it's own legend.
it won't be at the levels of T206, or for that matter the BN ruth, but i certainly think this "legend" has room to grow also.
