E94 Colors

[dfletch00]

reviving this thread since it was exactly what I was wondering.

What are the least /most common colors ... I thought purple and gold were least and red /Green(?) were most common.. are there 6 or 7 colors or is that up for debate

any insight appreciated .. I've been offline net54 a long time but look forward to getting back

Thanks Darrell

I just re-read the old thread, and I think all of the info still holds true. There haven’t been any big finds of these in the interim or any other new info which would change it.

Purple and gold are tough, olive green as well, with red and green most common (and blue closer to the red and green levels).

I consider it 6 colors and the orange as a one-off outlier, though that is probably because I don’t own one. If I had the one I would like to acquire, I’m sure I would say a master set should have 7 colors!

Gold is tougher in general than the other colors for some reason. Purple is thought to be tough mainly because of the demand for it. The colors do seem to spike sometimes, meaning you may not see a green for quite a while and 2/3 will pop up at once. Some subjects are nearly impossible in certain color combinations, although at this point every color combo has been confirmed in the six main colors. I believe 22/30 different Orange subjects have been confirmed and there are two Orange Cobbs, adding to the mystery of that color. There are 8/10 of us who chart the colors and keep in touch on different color combos, it really is a fantastic set. Some combos just aren’t seen sometimes for years. Recently it was speculated that the purple Wagner didn’t exist because nothing could be found on it. There are actually four known, people just hold them because it’s Wagner or they are doing a purple run (or both). Good luck in collecting this great set.

Steven, I had a purple Wagner for years and didn't even realize the rarity of it...sold it to a board member a few years ago...heavily creased...Jerry

Having collected e94s over many years, I agree with Steve about about gold color cards as a Bit tougher then other colors. The orange color cards have been speculated on origin for years, any other theories out there, would love to here. As stated above, all cards with all colors have been found, obviously not all player combos in Orange. As e94 collectors know and Tbob will attest to, some player combos are nearly imposssible to find. It’s a great set to chase and as e94 collection matures, one starts to chase the m131 Series set, really a sub set of the e94.

If its not too much trouble, can you give a few examples of some of the tougher player/color combos to find?
Thank you,

I can probably answer that for you. A lot experienced collectors have spent years charting colors to try and put together player runs etc. I asked the same question years ago and was met with silence. There are a ton of images on the internet and completed sales on vcp, that’s where I started gathering info. Good luck in the quest!

Hey Wayne
Nice info. I know you have collected these a longtime. I have always liked the purple....

Hi Jerry. I remember the card, you sold it to a good friend of mine. I have it in my count. We know where three currently are, a fourth that was auctioned many years ago is out there also.
