Good luck to all the E98 master set collectors out there. I know I have picked up E98s in colors I didn't have but I am leaving the master set to guys like Tim and others. I have enough heartache trying to complete the E94 master set although I am close. What is very discouraging to me is that there is a reason certain player/color variations never pop up on ebay or in auctions in the E94, they are (for some unknown reason) damn scarce!
You also have to deal with the Cobb and Wagner (and to a certain extent) Young collectors out there who don't care if a background is violet or olive green. Frustraing....
Sorry to turn the thread from E98s to E94s...
P.S. I still check the backs of every scan of an E93 Lajoie to see if lightning will strike twice and PSA or SGC erroneously slabbed an E98 red Lajoie as an E93 Lajoie. That's how I found my (now long gone) E98 red Lajoie, in a PSA holder as an E93. That is without a doubt the toughest E98 color/player combination that exists, nothing else is close...
