Anyone see many misprints and freaks in E98? Here are a few, the Bridwell with the split back, Walsh with a pretty cool sunburn and Evers with fading or something?...

There was a Mack Black Swamp Miscut showing three cards on the front (Ford's name on top and a slight card on the right) and a split back. I am glad it is miscut because to get a post factory problem free card that was centered would have cost me at least 10x as much (based off the lowest Mack BSF).

Great thread guys! I had the pleasure of seeing Tim's "book" of E98s that he brought to the National a couple years ago. Truly an impressive collection.

I only collect Cincinnati Reds so McLean is the one that I am after from this set. I have the red version (below), but I still need the other 3. Any thoughts on if McLean is tougher to find in one color vs the others?

Was bidding on this card too. It's very difficult to find an E98 with a name at the top.

I really thought it was a beautiful card and felt the miscut added to the value. I really didn't think I would win it. I guess the grade helped me on that one.

Default Nice!
Andy,
I love your unique Mack! Yes, I have only seen one other E98 with a name on the top before. As Rob said, that is a special one.

Chris,
Thanks for the compliment on my book of E98s. It's now complete!
As for the McLean, I have seen that particular player more often in Red and Green. Blue and orange, I have seen quite rarely. This is my experience with that particular card which might greatly differ with other collectors.
Best Wishes,
Tim Kindler

Default E98 McLean
Tim, I've had the same experience with McLean. The red & green backs show up more often(not that it's that often in general) & in much nicer shape. I've only seen a couple of blue & orange ever, and they were in poor/beater shape.

Me too. I think Mclean was kicked to the curb or tossed in the garbage a lot more often than other players in the set because he was less popular.
