Too bad PSA won't grade them either.

Dang! Sutter went for more than the Schmidt! That Keith Hernandez certainly was a bargain wasn't it.
Was told that there is not enough information to grade them. Should be interesting to see if this stays true or not. I have vintage press plates and proofs of Carew that they won't grade, so i can't see how they would grade these.
<< <i>WOW! $1966.00 for the Bruce Sutter card? More than Jackson and Schmidt? This must be the very rare card of the set. The bidding does look a little bit funny on this card. I really need to get a second job to pay for my hobby. >>
Actually - it does seem bizarr-o in retrospect, being that the bidder just joined Ebay two days ago. That being said - there are no cards in the set rarer than any other. Each unpublished card is as rare as the last. The second bidder does seem bizarre - but, in general, I think any card from this set could potentially have a huge range of prices due to a determined player collector. These cards in the unpublished final card form are essentially the pinnacle of a player set collector - as it is probably the only truly 1/1 card that was made during a player's career
Wanted to bump this thread after seeing a single card up in BBCE's e-Bay store. Anyone here own any of these cards? Never heard of them, but just Googled it. Pretty neat and rare.
Very interesting.

Robert Edwards Auctions has a Ron Guidry from the set that's getting a lot of bids. (I like reverse negative cards so this would be somewhat of a holy grail, I guess.)

Those are some cool looking cards. The color really makes them pop.

I can't believe that Pepsi didn't want to go ahead with the set (stupid Pepsi).

Bob-- can the set be completed in both blank back and regular back ? Are the blank backs rarer than the already rare regular backs ?
You ought to buy a share of Pepsi stock and show up at the next shareholder meeting and demand to know who was responsible for discontinuing the production of the set.

Meant to add thanks for posting the album. Very nice collection.

There aren't really blank backs--these are simply proofs that are missing one or more colors.

I indubitably dig that J.R.
Many thanks for sharing!
Wow. I love those. That digital album is the bees knees!
When I click on the album link and then click on the set there are different cards listed and the cards do not have grades and grades are notated for the cards listed. Strange.
Does PSA not grade these and they just put them in holders?
Obviously based on scarcity super cool set you have Bob!
I could be wrong but I don't think they're actually in the holders. Besides no grades, there are no cert numbers and the UPC bar code pattern is the same on all of them. Is this a default framing provided in the PSA website's software for if you create a virtual album with scans of your raw cards?
Because they are unissued prototypes ? Is there a difference in grading criteria among prototypes, versus proofs, versus unissued test cards . For example the Topps B Robinson 1968 3D prototype versus an unissued proof from that issue like Rick Monday. ( as opposed to the limited released cards which are graded)
And I have seen grades on unissued test issues like the Topps 1961 Dice cards, which I assume are not viewed as prototypes or proofs
Well, Bob ?

Oops, sorry for the confusion. These are not graded, but I like the digital albums so much I needed to find a way to make that work. I use flips from cards that have no value (or little), enter them into the registry, create a showcase with said cards, scan the cards I want in the album (photoshopping them into PSA slabs with the correct info), and then attach front and back scans of the cards I want in the album. A lot of work but I couldn't figure out another way to do it.

Bob, is there a story behind how you acquired these? Thanks for sharing!
buying O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball
So do we really know the quantity printed? I thought I saw these at a card show some 20 years ago in San Antonio. These weren't given out to some of the district managers throughout the country? It seems they were running a couple of hundred bucks back then and I thought they were just a gimmick or something. Man, guess I was wrong...
...again
To be honest, no direction, but...

Not really. They appeared on eBay, and I bought them (with money). There are supposedly three of each. I'd almost guarantee that there at least two Molitors, since one is currently on eBay and one is probably in a stack of cards on my basement floor (as Al will attest).

I so attest...along with some 61 Dice cards, 68 3Ds, 70 cloth and other assorted stuff. You can trip over the stuff down there and hurt yourself . But no guinea pigs down there yet.

Never knew these existed. Maybe I should hold on to my 1981 Coca Cola cards.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
This sheet was auctioned off at the 2011 NSCC by Topps.

I would pay good money to watch a lengthy in-person recorded conversation between Bob and Al. I'd want it done Ken Burns style with 10 episodes and about 20 hours of footage and a techno/house music soundtrack. That would be bitchin'.
I am getting old . Was 2011 in Chicago where they had the briefcase full of cash, on a table with guards, that Bartman was invited to come and pick up at his convenience ? And a lot of dealer types arrested by the FBI on the floor ?

Could you imagine if Rickey Henderson made it into this set? WOWZERS!
Would have been quite an impressive item, you're right. A Nolan Ryan would look nice in that set too. For some reason, I'm suspicious they would have outpaced some of the others like Jim Sundberg and Ken Landreaux when it came to individual sales...
Weird thing is, with a print run that low, it's almost impossible to predict what any card would go for. I could see a common going for more than a Ryan if two St. Louis collectors just went at each other's throats. It's all about who sees it on that particular day and how much they have to have it.
No Pete Rose?

Not in this 22-card set. That doesn't mean there isn't a Pete Rose in the world, though. Stay chipper.

BBCE sold the Molitor, wonder if another card from this set will surface soon?
I think things like that then come to the realization that had those actually been made, they probably would have printed a billion copies and they'd be about as exciting as the 1982 Kmart cards are to us now.
It is a cool looking set, but I think for me it is cool because you never see them. I can't really think of a set off the top of my head that looks really cool that isn't also hard to find. For example, the 68 Topps 3D look so much cooler than any set Kelloggs produced during their entire 3D run, probably because I have seen endless copies of Kelloggs cards and the Topps cards are scarce.
I think there is some truth to that mrmopar. One example for me is the 1987 Topps Boardwalk and Baseball set. Small off beat set easy to find and cheap to buy. But the set can be completed without a slash line between the B and B on the front. Tough and relatively expensive ... and more interesting....to me
And in your area of interest, I have a set of the 1980 Topps Coins...only 3 involved, that includes what may be the toughest Topps Carew issue . I really like them, even though they are butt ugly, just because they are fairly unique .
Another example is the Topps 1980 Coke set, which involved team sets and header cards. There were 12 cards in each set, 11 players and the header card, except for the Yankees for which only 3 cards were issued. But proofs or prototypes of 8 other Yankees exist. I have found 7 of them and they seem cooler to me than the issued cards :-))
Maybe there is some undiscovered proof or variation to the 1982 KMart set too

Al do you mean 1981? If there are Coke cards for 1980 than this is big news to me as I have never heard of this. Im an avid 1980 collector is why I ask. Thanks for the help!

This could be the scarcest set ever to leak into the public's hands. I think it will rise exponentially with collectors over time...

Nice to see SGC will grade them.
How do you submit these cards to have them labeled with no grade? I have hand cut proof cards that I would just like to get in a holder. thanks
https://kennerstartinglineup.blogspot.com/
Mine aren't actually in PSA cases--I just PhotoShopped cases around the cards because I like they way they look. That said, PSA should definitely look into holdering cards that they don't grade (hint, hint).
