E98 OLD PUT Backed Survey

[Tim Kindler]

Craig,
Thanks for sharing your beautiful collection and displays that you have been assembling on these Old Puts and other caramel cards. I really enjoy seeing someone with a passion for their collections no matter how what the overall worth is, high or low, or the size of it..... Just nice to see the love of cards and history. Thanks for bringing back such great memories of one of my collecting passions over the years - E98s and Old Puts - with an old thread of mine from many years back. At one time, I had a Master set and many Old Puts, but over the years, family financial needs took the place of these collections and most of what I once owned is gone, but no regrets and the selling of these items have greatly benefitted my family over the years. I believe fellow board member Pete Costanzo still owns most of my old Old Puts in his AMAZING Collection. Pete has always been an outstanding and trustworthy member to do collecting business with over the years and is very knowledgeable on Old Puts. Collecting Passions change over time, but E98s have always been a beautiful little set to focus on.... Best wishes with your continued success on E98s Craig!

Hey Tim
A lot of us have sold for good reasons and have kept on in the hunt. It's just a little more expensive this time!

Tim- it’s good to hear from you again. I stumbled across this thread and smiled when I saw some of my posts from 2009. Time sure does fly. I glanced at my card inventory lists and spotted an Old Put which has not previously been catalogued/listed a McLean. It has the red background and is in a PSA 3 holder.

Congrats on all your big acquisitions the past couple of months, Craig! I've enjoyed getting to watch all this come together and it's awesome seeing someone collecting e98 variations and oddities again. Best wishes to continued success and even more finds in 2025!!

I was also fortunate enough to add this unique example... An Orange background OldPut. The pedigree comes from trusted members of this forum, so it appears 'legit'. It is laminated, so has not been graded... I made this display holder... this is now one of my favorite cards!
Thanks to all that made this one happen! As far as I know, the only Orange background OldPut!

Craig,
I love the way that Orange Old Put looks like in your custom holder! It definitely looks like all the other Old Puts I have ever seen.

Congrats!
