Good to Hear from the King of E98s!
Seriously, Rob it is good to hear from you. I believe that you definately know as much if not more about the E98 set that anyone in the hobby. MANY of the E98s that I have either owned or currently own came from your collection. I believe that the OLD PUT McGraw that I recently picked up in a 19th Century Only auction was yours at one time. I didn't know you had a Blue Dooin. Congratulations, That is great news! It also adds another to the checklist. It may also help add to the theory of a store owner stamping them himself, because as I stated above, it would seem doubtful that the owner had only RED backgrounds to stamp. Of course there was that Green Jennings that someone tried to pass as authentic a few months back. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Anyways happy collecting up in the Great Northwest. I hope to meet you again at the National in Cleveland again this year. It was an honor to meet you in Chicago last year. I live near Fort Wayne, Indiana, and really enjoy the fact that it is smack dab between Chicago and Cleveland and I get to enjoy the National close to home when it is in those two cities. Take Care, Tim

Rob- The Old Put Clarke that UPS lost was a red one. Doug Allen spotted it at a National and called me at home on the phone about it, then purchased it for me. It was a real heartbreaker when UPS lost that card and the rest of the E98 set I owned at that time, all of them were heading home after having been graded by GAI.

Bob,
I remember reading about your shipping disaster. Something like that would really dishearten you towards grading and collecting in general...at least it would me. I can't believe none of them have ever surfaced. Anyway, I know that was a few years ago, but sorry for your unpleasant situation. Oh, YOU are the King of E94s!

Hmm, so that means that there are two Old Put Fred Clarke cards.
Leon has a blue example and Bob had a red example. Interesting. Thanks bob. I still think that Clarke will show up again. The card can't disappear forever right? Last edited by caramelcard; 05-06-2009 at 11:55 PM.
