the E98 set was an "anonymous" set, noone truely knows who made it, but only that it was distributed with candy, possibly Cracker Jack type candy..

the 1909 T206 set, was distributed by American Tobacco, and was given out with packs of Ciggarettes, the Honus Wagner card, is extremely rare, as he either 1 didnt want to be associated with kids buying tobacco to get the card, or 2, wanted more money from them, which they wouldnt give him... noone really knows, but in 1948 i think it was, it shows him on another card (i think it was Topps) with a big mouthfull of chew, so it likely could have been he didnt want kids buying ciggarettes, but noone really knows... the best grade of his card sold in 2008 for 2.8 million dollars, making it the most expensive baseball card ever sold...

grading for cards goes from 1 (poor) to 10 (pristine), to get a 9 or 10 in a card from that year, is impossible (except now), it would be like taking a card out of a fresh opened pack, and putting it into a screw down case, never touching it with human skin, oils, ect... even nowadays, with brand new packs opened, its very very rare to get a 10, there are strict guidelines that they follow when grading cards... even getting a 9 in that year is impossible, until now, as the Ty Cobb from that set, previous best grade was a 7.... which means it is Near Mint, as in this card right here:

to find 16 grade 9 cards is insanity, and will score this guy some serious money on them alone...
