Missing just the blue background example to complete the four color rainbow each E98 subject displays, this is a well-balanced looking group of Johnny Kling's to be sure.  The red background version is SGC 2 in grade, with some very minor paper loss to the reverse that just minimally takes away the affected text in three small dots. The obverse is gorgeous, all straight edges and pointy corners.  The green background has some more obvious wear with corner rounding and some minor staining to the front, with a reverse missing some paper, very minor really, due to an old album removal. It's graded as an SGC 2.5.  Moving to the orange background, graded SGC 1.5, a crease can be seen arcing in the upper left, with rounded corners and some staining in the borders.  The reverse is a bit more heavily stained, although it was never mounted.
