Re: Once upon an "E" time....
My random thoughts:
1) The E92 Nadjas need to be separated into the St. Louis and non-St. Louis players. There was a giant hoard of St. Louis players found a few decades ago and they've become failry common lately.
2) Similarly, E104 should be divided into the three subsets they're classified under. The -1s and -2s are just difficult; the -3s are nigh on impossible.
3) E102s are also rather more common than Pete's list would suggest. not sure if that's a recent phenomenon, but the E101s are now more difficult.
4) The rapid price escalation of 5-6 years ago brought many caramels out of the woodwork. As others have observed, E97, E90-2 and E90-3 among others are no longer as difficult as Pete's list would suggest.
I hope Pete can add his opinions to this discussion. There are few people in the hobby who are as well versed in these issues as he is.
