    Those are great cards - any idea what they are (ie date, publisher, etc...)?

    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!

    Very cool cards! Do you have any additional information on them?
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    I have the whole set somewhere I just don't know where. Someone somewhere gave me a pile of these. Obviously they aren't official released cards. I used to give the extras I had out on B&Ps to people.

    The web addy goes to a placeholder. Guess after seeing the www, should have known it wasn't vintage material.

    Far from vintage just look at the guitar in the picture. If the pictures showed Jerry playing on Wolf or older guitars then I would say possible vintage. Also a "Dead" giveaway is

    The last note of Shakedown Street was played July 9, 1995 aka as the very last Grateful Dead show. Here is the setlist from the show

    Soldier Field, Chicago, IL (Sunday 7/9/95)

    Touch of Grey
    Little Red Rooster
    Lazy River
    Masterpiece*
    Childhood's End
    Cumberland Blues
    Promised Land

    Shakedown Street
    Samson & Delilah
    So Many Roads
    Samba in the Rain
    Corrina ->
    Drums ->
    Space ->
    Unbroken Chain
    Sugar Magnolia

    E: Black Muddy River
    Box of Rain

    * Weir on acoustic
    *(The Band opened)*

    I am guessing the Vegas Dead card was 1991 or Summer 1992? Since Jerry's
    Rosebud guitar (which replaced Tiger) wasn't played publicly until 1990. Judging from the picture Jerry doesn't look as bad health wise as he does on the shakedown card. After his 2nd coma in August/ September of 1992 he never looked very healthy IMO.

    The pic of him is another 'dead' giveaway.
