SMR is wildly off with 90% of pre-war issues - high and low. If you're going to colelct pre-war, do not rely on SMR for anything informative.

What exactly is the point of this board if you can't look out for the other members by pointing out an item they may be looking for. Ebay isn't exactly a secret you know. Chill out guys!

they were joking - no one was upset.

Based on my experience collecting E94s I think the price was very reasonable. The SMRs for E94s is so far off it is ridiculous. I paid about that amount for the E94 gold Chance on the BST and was happy to get it. HOF E94 cards, especially, are very tough to find and its all a matter of timing. Had I not already had a blue Lajoie, I can guarantee the card would have gone for much more.

What was the VCP for that card? Closer or still wide variations?

All over the place - sales from $170-$565 over the last 4 years.

Real tough to price these E94 cards because the different colors matter. Even tougher in SGC 10 because that encompasses everything from the worst beater to a nice looking card on front with back damage.

Yea, I saw that w/ the Lajoie in that the seller specified blue background. However, the pop reports for the card doesn't have blue. I'm new to E94 (even though I like how the cards look). Is there a consensus on what are the colors for the various players and how rare these are? (similar to the backs for T206)
