Comments
I'm not familiar with any of these and was gonna ask if the FCG's were new sets added to the Pop or just the first card graded of each card number but a quick check on just the 97 Tiger Woods cards gave me my answer. Congrats!

Most of the rest had examples graded from the set, but not that specific card or had singles, but not full panels. The 97 Topps Tiger photos were the only totally new set added to the pop.
Kyle let me piggyback and here are my results from the same sub.

Anyone know of a good A3 CCD scanner? If I'm going to keep growing the Jumbo collection, it would be nice to find a scanner bed they fit on. First up, 35 Wheaties ...
wow

1940 Wheaties
This first one contains the Byron Nelson RC when cut as a single. Just a shade too much missing from the top to get a number grade. Glad I never got around to getting this one chopped up ...
and an early Sarazen that someone did exactly what was intended for these and hole punched it ...
Those 3 are posted now.
Sorry, advertised it on another forum. I have a feeling I'll be doing another this year and will make sure to reach out.
1951 Wheaties
When adding this to my inventory, I just saw the APR for the other 8.5
A far nicer hit than I thought.

Congrats Kyle. Monster hit on that one.
Congrats Kyle!
Whenever you get a chance, please post pics of the above cards. I'd love to see what these actually look like.
Kyle, amazing hits. Those colors really pop. Congrats!
