As for Clarke, in my experience, the red, orange, and blue are pretty easy to find, while the green will be more difficult. Anyway, enjoy the hunt, because that is what makes collecting e98s fun for me. I'm still hunting too, for upgrades!

Tim, I hold an e98 Cobb red in a PSA 3 acquired before the BSF find. Would this card trade for more than the equivalent card discovered in the BSF? Thanks.

Brian, I know your post was from a few months ago but those black and whites are cool...Jerry

Nice group Andy. I think E98 cards are fun to gather in an assortment of background colors...your near set has a nice kaleidoscope look. On the other hand, the one color look is also cool. Here are four Blue cards, with one identified as Brown.

Brian (Unlike the Cy/Irv card, this "Miner" is actually Mordecai)

edit: Just realized I posted these cards ten years ago previously on this thread. Go me!

Beautiful set Andy.

John, good question, you won't find a Red Cobb 3 from BSF. When I was putting together my Master I collected original circulation only because I wanted to experience putting together a pre BSF set.
It really is two different sets, all the BSF is high grade, original circulation is like collecting any other E set.
To me your Cobb is more valuable, but I value oc cards more than BSF, your particular card is more rare than a E98 Red Cobb in an 8 or 9. It's a weird dynamic caused by the find.
If you ever want to move your card let me know.

I figured it would be easier just to scan instead of listing their colors...I think these are all I have...one of those Vaughns is an Old Put...Jerry

Jerry,

Great set man. Would love a chance to talk about that blue Ford if you're interested in letting it go to replace my red one. I'd much rather have a blue one in my set.

You really have some nice raw cards mixed in there.

Thanks Andy I appreciate it...I like your set too...if I decide to part with it I will let you know...Jerry

Little bump because I just finished my first E98 player "rainbow".
