E98s are Awesome!
Love reading everyone's thoughts and opinions on E98s. Those who know me, know these are my collecting passion. I love all cards, but there is just something about these E98s that draws me as a collector!
Bob had mentioned the Vaughn. It is the lowest populated card on the SGC Registry and one of the lowest on the PSA registry. Now there are certainly others out there that are raw as well, but even those I would asume are few and far between. I guess for me, I would have to rank the Vaughn behind the Coombs, Bridwell, and Dahlen just because I was able to get one of each quickly in my pursuit of the Master Set. I guess I just happened to get lucky because I haven't seen many of them. In fact, I have seen more red Vaughns for sale over the years than the other colors which is what blew me away on the price it brought the other night. Awesome Lajoies Rob! I love seeing those all in one picture. I believe that Red one is the one Bob was talking about. I have a 10 red one, and I believe a 50 was in a recent set lot for sale this fall. Those are the only three red ones that I am aware of/ or seen. *Stand Corrected. Make that 4 red Lajoies. Beautiful E98s Jtschantz! There are many collectors who I'm sure have some really nice E98s in their colections that we just don't know about. Take John's for instance from his childhood.(Love the Mack!) Rob A. probably knows more than anyone on these from the fact that he collected so many from years ago. I have to admit, there are still a few color/player combinations that I have never seen come up for sale which will make my quest even more difficult, but that's the fun in it! Anyways, I have all four of my color sets on the SGC Registry if you are ever bored and wanted to check them out. SOme of them aren't the highest of grade, but hopefully, you'll enjoy the Old Put Backs. Oh, and check out Pete C's set on there too. It has some really high grades for E98s. Bob has a few sets on there too, but I'm not sure if he has scans. Enjoy. Tim Kindler Last edited by Tim Kindler; 01-27-2012 at 08:18 PM.

I know we all regret selling cards but that 40 red Lajoie could not have found a better home.
Great cards Rob.

I may be mistaken but I think that red Lajoie PSA 1 shown above was one of the cards sold on ebay one morning a few years ago which had beautiful fronts but extraneous tape on the back above and below the writing. I didn't find them that day until the Lajoie and 4 or 5 others had sold but was able to score about 6-7 color variations which had beautiful fronts and the thin tape running across the front and bottom edge margins on the back. The prices for the cards (all BINs) was super. I'd like to see some more lots like that one hit ebay some day.

TBob, that eBay lot started my E98 quest. I picked up my first E98, Frank Chance Red Background, and have now been working on a red background set. I picked up my seventh card with the Goodwin auction this week--Chief Bender now joins my "tiny" run of 6 red background E98's. I remember pausing at the Lajoie Red Background, as I hit these seconds after they were listed. My budget would not allow two purchases, and Chance was the lesser price. If I knew now what I knew then, I would already have my Red Lajoie and not be cursing this thread.
