Default When top condition is not a good thing?

There are numerous vintage cards out there that are old and some obscure that can be found in very high numbers in top condition. Some sets that come to mind, M116 sporting life, tAngo eggs, wasn't there a mellow mint find yielding lots of high-grade cards? Those Spaulding cards of the mid-20s sports champions, those Colgan square cards... and now suddenly e98's.

All of these other sets are not terribly desirable... I think because so many high-grade examples are available. So now take a set like your e98... which was about as hot as can be the last few years... and all of a sudden there are a huge percentage of high-grade cards.

I believe there are far fewer collectors of high-grade cards then midgrade. it's funny viewing certain type collectors cards where most cards are in similar condition and then you'll see a near mt Tango eggs card surrounded by good/very good other cards.

What will become of e98?

I wonder if Bruce Dors kind Will be upgrading????

are too many high-grade cards undesirable in the hobby?
