I think it's hilarious that a 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken is brought up as so-called proof that the Black Swamp find 1910 E98s are fake. This board is a funny bunch sometimes!

Tinfoil Hat: "The Black Swamp find E98s are modern fakes."

Sanity: "No, they're real. We've seen them up close. They've been verified by Heritage, PSA, SGC, etc. Plus, the very nice family that found them has no reason to create such an elaborate scam."

Tinfoil Hat: "They're fake I tell you! I have proof!"

Sanity: "Umm, okay."

Tinfoil Hat: "Look at this 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken!"

Sanity: ". . ."

anyone who has seen and held a BSF E98 in their own hand...and still thinks it's fake...doesn't know how to recognize authentic vintage caramel card(s).

Nobody ever said that the Ripken was proof that the Black Swamp cards were fake or even made the comparison between the two. Where do you read that???

The question was raised, could a TPG slab a counterfeit card. It was proven so with a Ripken card. Nobody made the comparison that just because the Ripken was fake that the Black Swamp cards were too.

I agree there is too much supply right now for the demand, as collectors congregate for all Ruth items and super high end stuff. But, there will be a day the caramels come back into the fold. If you think about it, even after the BSF find, there are approximately 75 cards(including the BSF cards) per player. MANY of the E98's in the Pop reports have been crossed as well. I myself have crossed a bunch. So, putting it in even more perspective, there are over 100 Ruth RC's known. Not to sound like a banana putting Ruth in the same sentence with the E98's, just making the point they're not overly abundant on the whole. I think it's a great time for E98 or caramel collectors to get them on the cheap right now.
