Came in the mail today!!! SGC took these cards from the old holders and put them in new ones!! I don't believe that I know of another existing set.

Troublesome question. They undoubtably look better in the SGC holders, but PSA holders may make them more saleable. However, the cards are what they are, so I do not think the holder really matters.

Why step over the dollar to get to the cent? Because it's a 55DDO.
john-
i agree! the real value here is in the entire SET.
thought this set was stunning when posted the first time!
and they do look great in sgc holders!
btw, what was different about sgc's old holder?
can you post scans of these in old holders?
very nice!

Thanks!!
The old holders were vintage Joe Merkel era of Sportscard Guarantee. Not all of the cardsthat went into those holders were...uh...scrutinized as well as they should have been.
People could get a genuine autographed Ruth ball if they submitted 250 pics!
I wonder if it was a special ball and box from the candy company?

No holder looks better than that green and black!

Except red, white and Blue (dna)
So your saying that is the only set that exist? WOW!
How did you manage to get your hands on a full set?

It is the only graded set out there and I have never seen another raw or otherwise. I spoke with Lipsewt who had seen a few cards but not a whole set. I'm sure that going through grandma's basement there has to be some more. I was also hoping some board members would pull out theirs!
Oh, I bought it on ebay with a BIN a few minutes into the auction!
