I love discussing E98s, so I'm thankful for this thread. Thanks for the kind words Peter and Rob. Yep, only 8 to go, but I'm not fooling myself. It might be awhile yet.... I still need 2 Cobbs and 2 Youngs! Anyway, I guess you are correct Brian in that those on ebay didn't go for too much, but I did think the Tenney was high. But, then again, when it comes to one you really need you will always pay whatever it takes. I will probably pay some pretty stupid prices for what I have left to get as well when they come up for sale
Brian, Congratulations on that Blue Tenney. It is a tough one. I was fortunate to find one this year at the National. Very thankful for the price on it as well.
I'm really not sure about the prices yet??? I did see that the E98 population report on SGC went up by about 150 cards in the last few weeks. Most of them seem to be realy high grades as well. This has to be some of the Black Swamp cards right???? Are these going to be new to the general public or would the buyers of the big Heritage Auction have crossed them over...which I doubt, but who knows?
Pete, If you are going after that Blue Chance in Goodwin, good luck my friend!
That was sincere!
If you haven't seen Pete's near set on the SGC registry, it is worth checking out. Beautiful cards. My four sets are not updated, but still on there. I need to send some off to SGC!
