Default Admiring a couple of sets.

Posted By: Scott Mosley

Cmoking,

In the mid 1970s, before the hobby took off, my father and I were lucky enough to acquire two complete E95 sets (no doubles) and the complete E98 set (with only one double) which had been neatly stored away in empty Cigarette Packs.

I've paid my collecting "dues" by piecing together other sets but we were just plain lucky on these.

If you are curious, the other E95 set was in nearly identical condition and was sold off in a Sothebys auction back in the early 1990s.

Scott
