Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Im not sure how much to read into that auction - two e93 wagner psa 4's (one may have been an sgc 50) sold in the last week or two (one ebay and one in an auction) and both ended up right around 1700. I think this is a case of a couple bidders who just were going at it. Either way, sure makes my e93 wagner sgc 40 that I picked up for less than 1k a few months ago seem like a deal.<br /><br /><a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/5951/file03688tm.jpg" border="0" width="326" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>

Posted By: <b>Don J</b><p>Josh,<br /><br />You're forgetting the juice on the non-Ebay auction. Total was actually closer to $2K with the 15-17% premium.

So, you still wonder if caramels are hot?
 

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Thanks Don and that's true - I didnt consider the juice. But even 2k is about what I expect for a psa 4. it looked decent - and unlike the sgc 30 that just sold, no creases (let alone one through the middle of the card).

Posted By: <b>John Spencer</b><p>Been fascinated about the E98 Mack discussion, although you would think he would take his trousers down before sitting on the thunder box (perhaps that is his starting A's lineup he is pondering while attending to his business). Anyhow, is there definite data around about the relative difficulty of the colored backgrounds, or is it purely subjective collecting experience for those folks who collect the set. And I guess the same kind of color background relativity could be true for the E94's. I know I am breaching protocal here but I do have a an E98 Bresnahn red backgound PSA 7 that I could be persuaded to part with for all the gold in Ft Knox

So, you still wonder if caramels are hot?
 

Posted By: <b>tbob</b><p>John- the prevailing consensus was always that the red background cards were hardest to find in the E98 set. Oranges seem to pop up all the time and blues were fairly common with green a little bit tougher. Now some of my E98 collecting friends seem to believe that maybe the greens are as tough as the reds. I still believe the red ones are the toughest based on a large number that I have owned or examined over the years.<br />Interestingly, the prevailing wisdom in the E94 set (which has 6 colors) was that violet was always considered far and away the toughest but now it appears that the gold background cards are as tough or maybe even a little tougher. Of course, all E94s are tough. For some reason the E94s have become less prevalent that even the E97s lately. I think he reason is fairly simple, there are 6 colors of each E94 card as opposed to one of each E97 and there are some master set collectors out there (guilty as charged) buying up what would otherwise be duplicates or upgrades. This has really contributed the E94s drying up. I know of at least 3 master set collectors who are very active and I am sure there are others out there lurking or who might not even use the internet...<br />Bob

So, you still wonder if caramels are hot?
 

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>Hi John,<br /><br />My opinion with e98 colors is that it's not as simple as "red is the toughest," or "green is tougher than blue." <br /><br />I have found that over the past couple years and over 100 different examples in my own collection and from closely watching other examples, green has been the toughest in general. (By the way, Scott M's collection doesn't count because it defies the laws of anything else I've seen with green e98s. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Those are just sweet and were found as a group if I remember correctly.)<br />Anyways, I simply mean that I have seen/owned the least amount of green examples overall.<br /><br />HOWEVER, I HAVE FOUND CERTAIN PLAYERS to be way tougher than others and certain red examples to be almost non-existent.<br />I'm not laying down any verdict, just giving my experience.<br /><br />At any rate, I know that every player is out there in every color.<br /><br />Happy Collecting Everyone!!<br />Robert<br /><br /><br />Also....Bob...you're right. E94s are plain gone on any public market. The reason is that people like you and me love em' and won't sell them.<br />
