March 19, 2020: Spring Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/19/2020
Presented is a virtually mint condition example of the Russ Ford card in the coveted 1910 E98 “Set of 30,” a card that looks precisely as it might have looked when it rolled off the presses despite its fabled 110-year heritage. Ford’s inaugural season in 1910 was more than worthy of this stunning card that comes in at an amazing SGC 8.5 Near-Mint to Mint-Plus. The E98s were among the scarcest of the turn-of-the-century Caramel cards, an evaluation hardly jostled by the remarkable “Black Swamp Find” in Defiance, Ohio, eight years ago. The pristine E98s in this auction look for all the world like the denizens of that mystical attic find, and this amazing Ford specimen is among the highest-graded cards in this array.
