One good thing about this board is that it gives the opportunity for collectors to gain knowledge that they might not have been able to access elsewhere. As far as the price for the Shean card, if I hadn't been able to find one years ago I would have bid more than the winning bid in this week's auction because it is that rare. Only guys who build the E90-1 set card by card might have this knowledge. Shean rarely if ever appears for sale. Because the Shean has the same front as the E92 Dockman and many other sets, you see that front on ebay from time to time, but you don't see the E90-1. Upp is tough but Shean, IMHO, is still the toughest E-90-1 around. I know other collectors may disagree but try building the set and see how tough it is. I found the Mitchell early on and McLean, Duffy, Walsh and Speaker, although all tough, were no match.
