Hi Ben,

Not sure if you missed the "Black Swamp Find" in your absence...the most significant event in terms of E98 ever. Many hundreds of practically mint, uncirculated E98 cards found in one place.

I think for any card collector considering E98 you need to study and understand the ramifications of this enormous find of cards on the values of this set.

There are many, many published write-ups on this...here is a short one:

Cheers,

Blair - I completely agree with your assessment that the Black Swamp Find completely changed the E98 landscape. Quite the significant find...

Ben - Welcome back to the board. I suggest you absorb the magnitude of the Black Swamp Find before diving back into E98.

Best regards,

Eric

I agree. Stick a chunk of caramel in your mouth and try these cards on for size. They too are in need of love. (Walsh has a sunburn)

I can't add much to set info, but here is my BSF miscut to contribute to the thread and it does indicate that Ford was above Mack in production:
