Leon- I think the premium you paid was for the nicer than graded condition but was also for the background color (orange). I've got the other orange E94 that Lionel once owned and the fact that these two orange backgrounds came from the Carter collection and all other oranges known came from Brian Daniel's horde lends some credence to the theory that all oranges didn't come from the same sheet. No oranges exist for any players (to my knowledge) in numbers greater than 1. Still waiting to see the orange Young, I believe the rest are in collections and accounted for.
I remember going round and round with Brian years ago when he told me he had some orange E94s and I told him he was wrong, that the oranges were E98s (many of the same poses), and there were no oranges in existence. He was right. Maybe some day we'll find out the mystery of these oranges...
