E98s: difficulty of cards, colors, and set as a whole
I went into the Net54 archives and noticed a big disparity of the perceived difficulty of E98s in terms of background color as a whole and/or individual cards in any given color.
Caramel-cards.com lists the E98 set as "A little harder to find, borderline difficult." Do you think this is accurate? What cards do you have from this set? What color are the backgrounds? What do you think about difficulty level of any given card or the set as a whole? Here are my two E98s: Picked this up on the BST last night from Tim. Looking forward to the postman delivering it.  Won this on eBay in January:

I believe Hippo Vaughn is considered among the toughest cards in the set. I forget the order of color scarcity but it should be in the Net54 archive.

Barry is right that Vaughn is considered one of the tougher cards in the set.
As far as scarcity between the different background colors, you will get mixed opinions. There are some who believe Red backgrounds are tougher while I've seen others say Green is the toughest. My personal opinion is that the Red and Green seem to be slightly tougher than the other two colors but that there is not a huge difference in scarcity between the four background colors.

I had 16 of the 30 all different colors and mostly common players. Not really common price but just players that were easy to get at the time. Dave F and TBob are the 2 experts I believe that may be able to help get in the right direction.

As far as difficulty of the players within the set-
Here is my thoughts, these are the top six toughest cards in the set going by my experience....a couple of these i've noticed have been hoarded by collectors going after that particular player in the set so that may play into it a bit.... Coombs Vaughn Tenny Mack (the toughest of the HOF'ers in the set IMO, I'd put Walsh next but down the list.) Chase Dahlen Very subjective and opinions can vary....

e98 difficulty
Dave--A good post, and I agree on the Vaughn and Mack in degree of difficulty. I can't speak to color difficulty but I have always been under the assumption that red is the difficult color. This is information culled from two of the e-card experts: Bob Marquette (the recently silent T-Bob) and Scott Mosley. In fact, it was Scott who inspired me to start after I saw his incomparable complete set. I have focussed on the orange backgrounds and need another fourteen to complete, including Dahlen and Mack--hint, hint.
Cheers, Mike
