From what I understand they originally came with saome sort of foil covering a portion of the card. Once the foil was scratched off it revealed info?
What did the foil cover up? The headline box on the front of the cards?
Thanks
Arthur

In the player registries they have two separate listings, one for cards w/ foil and one without.

he may answer me direct, or come here.

where did you get that information?
are you certain you're not confusing this set with topps "who am i"?
believe that steve has confused this issue with 1960 nu-card scoops...
I've got a Jack Dempsey Master set. In it, there are two entries for the 1954 Topps Scoops series for his card, one listed as w/ coating and one without.
I've also seen auctions (although rarely) where the seller advertises certain cards as "still with foil on." The scans were small and consisted of one pic of 9+ cards so I couldn't make out any differences. Unless the coating is on the back of the card.
I suppose it's possible that the registry has the two cards listed in error but I don't think that's the case.

this is one of mine, without the coating which was obviously there at some point.. why though, i dont know..
Mark
Nope, i wasn't thinking of nu card scoops. I went to Ebay and saw an example. They look like the 56 Topps presidents set to me.
Called Topps Scoops

Very interesting you bring up this point , i just won this card and after checking the pop report i was wondering the same thing. Jim

<< <i>Maybe you peeled off the coating to see the card? those lines we see are from the coating perry?
Steve >>
i think so, but i really dont know anything about the set.. i have a marciano card from it too i think (raw)..
did you notice that the only one dempsey psa has graded with coating did not even receive a grade (obviously only authenticated!)?
perry-
why would you think that?
those appear to be print lines that are commonly associated with that particular card.
That is what i thought too. But figured i'd ask.
Steve
P, there is a Marciano card in the set. "Marciano Knocks Out Walcott" I believe. By the way, what's the deal with that Ruth? The corners on that look much better than the corners I usually see on the Scoop cards.

Not sure about that. I just checked the pop report online and it says the 1 graded example got a 7Q.
Arthur
i think those print lines brought that card down to a 3.
Steve
Arthur ... thanks for mentioning a set that is new to me -- and it has boxing cards. I may have to dive in to this one!
This is more like this board!
AHA! you are corret, sir...
i did the player search which does not list qualified cards...
my bad...
edited to add:
...nor does it include the correct total of one psa 7 nq!
<< <i>perry-

may be print lines, i dunno.. i just seem to remember someone telling me it was from some kind of coating..
If i get my card graded do you think the best i can expect to receive is a 3 because of the print lines ??

the ruth is strong for a 3, i assumed the black lines is what gave it a 3, because there are no creases, wrinkles or paper loss.. without the lines, its a 6 or possibly 7..
i believe that card was a psa 7 pd before re-graded nq...
i also think that i was the under-bidder.
do you remember who the seller was?
was the cost like $99?
i do not know. but from what i see and perry's reply I would think yes. But i am not sure.

i think it probably was, i forget though, i probably bought it 1 or 2 years ago? i dont remember the seller..
back to the original question...
now that we're all just dyin' to know...
who can enlighten us about the "coating"?
Always looking for 1957 Topps BB in PSA 9!
is that the beckett & eckes non-sport price guide?
if so, what year?
thanks
...the one with prices?
<< <i>PA ... nice card.

And I though that I had a problem.

Obviously most people rubbed it off so they are very difficult to find intact.
