Before the Black Swamp Find, E98s were considered scarce, with the majority of the surviving examples found in collector grades.  An E98 card with a grade as high as VG/EX+ 4.5 would be considered "higher grade" by many collectors.  Many - including us - tend to consider Black Swamp Find cards to be almost a separate set, with "circulated" E98 cards remaining tough to find, particularly in mid grades such as this.  Mild wear and surface staining are evident, softer corners offset by a sharp image and strong centering.
