Let's see some E-98 cards!
 

High grade or low grade...green, orange, blue or red variations...BSF of other. 😊

Always willing to provide a base level so others can feel better about their cards.

Nice! Looks like someone had it in their wallet for the past 100+ years.

The BSF has forever altered E98 collecting forever. There are now more high grade e98's than not...and that's really weird for a "rare" issue this old.

I put this run together long before the find...ironic that very few jennings were in the find...let alone in colors other than red.

Nice run!

Ooh, I get to play!

Recently completed my beater set...love them

Here's mine.

I'd like to do a color run, if anyone has one for sale. ;)

My low-grade HOF collection.

Love this set. My only one.

Always a favorite scan of mine...Brown angled to conceal that he isn't just missing fingers, and Joe sandwiched to conceal he has been Tinkered with.

I've always really liked these cards. Here's my color run.

E vs T
 

Why is the 98 set considered a E (set) vs a T (tobacco) issue? Seems like there is more evidence that they were distributed with Old Put Cigars than other products. Thoughts?

Here's one more to add to Pete's "Jenning's Run" !!

:eek:

Burdick called it a caramel card...period! Burdick was right about everything and nothing he said/did can be questioned/changed!!!!!!(See t213-I threads!)

E vs T
 

Cool article! So what is the evedance that they are an E card. The only thing that I have seen is that they were used for tobacco advertising.

As is stated in the article...it seems e98 anonymous cards were used by many as a give away...the fact that they look like other caramel issues...like e93/e94...is likely why they were/are classifies as caramel cards.

The fact that few exist with a stamp for old put cigars just shows that some cigar store/manufacturer put their stamp on these anonymous giveaway cards as advertisement for their business.

Old Put
 

Just noticed an email in my spam from a member asking me if I thought Old Put added value...if I remember it seemed like Tim Kindler and a few others knew a lot about them...I couldn't remember if I had seen more than one of any player...here is a Tinker I used to have...still have the Vaughn...Jerry

Always liked the looks of those. Whats the going rate for a low grade common
card in that set? Thanks.

e98 Chase
 

Here is my Hal Chase run (with an e93 thrown in).
