Are people dumping E98's?

I look at this find as a separate group of E98s. Within that high grade group, some of the cards might not demand as much as others when they're sold off.

The demand is still there for lower to mid grade E98s and collectors like myself and others will never stop watching the market and buying them as they appear at auction. It only takes two of us to push one of these low grade cards over 100 bucks or more. And many of us won't bid on the cards from the find so it won't really affect the values of the other examples that come up for sale.

Not all, but many of the collectors that really pay attention to the set aren't as interested in high grade cards as they are quantity, studying the set, and/or just completing a player set.

You guys may not agree, but if you ignore the new find, I believe there are far more raw E98s in collections than graded cards.

Comparing E98s to E95 and E96s, even with the new find it's still not even close in my opinion. E95s are still 10 times or more plentiful. They may have pulled much closer to say E93 though.
