Difference between e93 and e95 pricing?

[barrysloate]

I like Jim's analysis. Finds tend to temporarily skew the market; once they are absorbed and some time passes, things get back to normal.

yea it's plank's portrait, and his e93 pose is pretty ugly.

like jim i much prefer the e93s and deeper colors (only exception might be the e95 wagner pose). a few years ago e93s were out-pricing the e95s...now with the big finds they're about even. in a few years who knows. card for card i'd take the e93s and wider range of hofs.

I like both sets, E93 is more surreal and E95 classic, can't go wrong with either one !

I personally love the Wagner from the e93 set. Much nicer than the e95.. Thank you for all your input; The newer e93 collections must have inflated the supply side.

It just seems like the Plank price discrepancy is way too much. I could have bought a psa 1 e93 plank for $150 on Ebay recently, and a psa 1 e95 plank probably would go for double. I do like the e95 pose more than the e93, but the e93 isn't anything to complain about.

I decided to buy the E95 Plank to fill that spot in my T206 set due to the similarity of the poses. Same for my M116 Wagner. Much cheaper than taking the plunge on either of the T206's. I know of several other collectors who took the same approach. I did pay a premium for both cards but was quite happy with how they look in the binder beside their other brethren.

Thanks to Sportscard Pete for posting...I thought my buddy JimB would have posted prior to Post#5 on this thread, (what took you so long Jim)

Everytime I see his mint examples I think about what nice cards mine must have been before somebody trampled them into SGC10's !!!!

You really can't go wrong with either set. The E95 commons are plentiful it seems but still very nice cards. Check out Merkle...wow!

Speaking of poses, well I'm just glad we have some variety for Cobb, Wagner, Plank and boys... I like the E95 Plank the best of any baseball card (maybe not above my T208 dream card) and the E93 Mathewson is unreal.

Pricing...well I remember a card show in Albany, NY about 1994 where I was offered a big handful of E98, E95,E96 and I suppose E93 for $5 each because they all had some flaws...back then I was a bit more discerning so I passed.
Now I think of what a first-class fool I was for that mistake.

Thanks for all the great info. I just started collecting caramels as well and I've been focusing on low grade E95 and E96. Does anyone have any insight with respect to the scarcity of E95 v. E96? I'm finding E96 to be much tougher.
