For what this is worth--in 1976 (or 77?) I bought about 110 Caramel cards from an antique dealer in central Wisconsin. Of those, 55 were E98's. The color breakdown was this:
27 red
8 orange
14 blue
6 green.
The purchase amounted to one complete set, and among the duplicates (24) were 3 Cobbs. There was only 1 Wagner, 1 Matty, 1 Cy Young. There were duplicates of Vaughn, Tenney, Mullin, etc., and only Evers in addition to Cobb had 2 duplicates. No duplicate Coombs, or Dahlen, either.
This is a much more enlightening and upbeat thread than many we've had--this is what keeps me hanging around and mostly lurking.
