Default Speaking of rarities, exactly how rare are the E98 Old Puts?
Posted By: Tbob

I know they are pretty darn scarce. I am gnashing my teeth because my E98 Old Put Clarke was in the lost shipment that UPS bungled. I was just wondering how rare they really are. My own experience is that they I have seen far fewer for sale or displayed than E94 overprints. I have never heard of another Old Put Clarke other than the one Doug Allen found for me at the National several years ago so if you ever see one for sale, either raw or graded, please let me know as it could be (probably is) mine.
By the way, although E98s come in 4 colors, all Old Puts come in only one of the colors.
Thanks,
tb
