My personal take (and you can see I have a vested interest, from the Speaker post above) is that I certainly would bid if/when the orange Speaker showed up in an auction. But it wouldn't be an all-in break-the-bank scenario for me, since the orange color honestly for me kinda looks like a washed-out red and doesn't leap out to me as a "wow!" card. It may indeed be a unique variety, but I think I would appreciate it more if it had the orange of an E98, rather than what it is.
With these, I figure I have to draw the line somewhere. Many E94's have overprints, so is a back run not complete unless it also has every possible overprint known for that player as well? I've got 3 Speaker overprints, so maybe in my head that makes up for something else it may be lacking.
Would I like to add it to be complete complete? (And I know I still need olive as well.) Sure I would - but I see it more as a nice-to-have than an absolute must have.
