E98s: difficulty of cards, colors, and set as a whole

[Leon]

Are you going to try to upgrade that Vaughn? You need to try for the penultimate (sic) one.

About 6-7 years ago someone that works for one of the larger dealers sent me a scan of a blue background Old Put. At the time it was only the 2nd one I had seen. regards

Hey Scott,

That card is amazing! Just incredible.


Ok everybody: Let's touch on this once again.

We call E94 "E94 George Close Candy" because cards have been found with the Close Candy overprints. We disregard the Blomes overprints and don't call the issue "E94 Blomes Chocalate" but that's besides the point. We do use the overprint to dictate the name of the issue because that's the only evidence we have.

With E98, we have the Old Put stamps present on some cards but choose not to call them T cards which is fine and not a big deal anyhow. As Scott mentions above we've seen orange candy stains on the cards many times. I don't think I've ever seen an Old Put with stains, but who knows.

The fact that E98 look like other candy cards could be similar to issues like T216 or T208 that also look like candy issues.

Just for the sake of argument...

I don't think you can go on "E" or "T" just on looks. Heck there are D-issues which to me look more like E's or T's.
