Black Swamp Find? Tell me more!

[Bryzz02016]

After skimming through the post, and watching the "Strange Inheritance" I have two conclusions:

1.) The "Black Swamp Find" E98's are in no way counterfeit.

2.) Though their values have dropped, in no way are they a bad investment. I cite the massive populations of T206 cards, and high prices the higher grades fetch. In fact over the long haul(maybe a couple decades or so) these will prove to be a very solid/steady investment.

The way Heritage "slow played" these out was probably for the best, but of course was to maximize sales totals. I feel bad for two parties:

1.) Those that paid the exorbitant prices in the first couple Heritage auctions. But those buyers (the 100K+ people) have money to burn. I highly doubt these e98's will ever reach those inflated heights again.

2.) Those that had the lower graded cards that appeared to be the best, only to have those values plummet. But, as mentioned previously in this thread, that's the chance you take in collecting.

I posted the first Black Swamp Find thread 14 years ago. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long ago.

During my hobby hiatus, I missed the remaining glut of these hitting the market in non-pedigreed slabs.
