I picked this up in the early 90's and for the life of me I can't find out anything about it. Anyone know?

    Something here but doesn’t seem to solve the mystery, just that there’s also a Jordan and Tyson... https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/987918/october-pickups/p2

    Search “pesque hueso” on eBay and there are a few cards listed, saying it’s from a rare Spanish beer game, though that’s still pretty vague: https://www.ebay.com/itm/154041337997

    Thanks for the help! I searched every word combo I could think of but they all included "Gretzky" in the search in every database and list that I could find.

    Yea I may be off on the time frame. It was in an old box that I thought I hadn't touched since the 90's but maybe I did. Either way I'm sure I didn't pay much for it. It probably came in a lot that I had forgotten about it. Was hoping that I had something super rare, haha oh well.

    Would PSA or anyone grade/authenticate it? The game might have some sort of license? There's been lots of weird European sets over the years. Even if not, they already grade unlicensed stuff like Star Pics/Arena/Ultimate draft. Maybe the players themselves authorized them but no league or even a player association did, hence no logos and even just wearing suits in one of those sets. Hard to believe those hold any value still.

    they won't. and the only way i remember is watching a jordan card in an unc uni back in 2012ish get bid up to like $5k when these first surfaced. was a ton of buzz, then another one surfaced, then a gretzky, then a montana and the set basically started to make no sense. guy prolly made a small fortune at first. then once confirmed homemade off-brand he let the presses fly.
