I don't know much about sports cards, or collect them, but got this in a deal awhile ago and will take a shot at selling it. For sale is one (1) 2001 50th Anniversary "50 Years" presentation set in wooden box. The set includes one card from each year 1952-2001. The outside hinged wooden box measures about 6-1/2"X4-3/4"X2-3/4" and has felt on the bottom and a gold colored metal 50 Years emblem on top. The inside is covered with black velvet or velvet-like material. The inside box is made of gold cardstock, measures 3-3/4"X2-5/8"X1", and has a seal on it with the Topps logo. The seal is intact. The end flaps on the inside box move in and out in the side that's not hinged, so you can see the sides of the ends of the cards...it appears a few of the cards are larger than the rest. Information about this set is hard to find on the internet, and about all I could come up with are old auction listings for two of the sets and a few small references. It appears that these "50 Year" presentation sets were made, depending on who you believe, for team executives and players, Topps corporate executives, dignitaries, or given as premiums for something. I've included links to the two auction listings below...you might get a better idea what you're looking at from them. As I said, I know nothing about sports cards and am selling the set as a "what you see is what you get" deal. I'm not offering a return policy because I wouldn't know if you sent back the original item, and don't have any idea if these were opened somehow or are intact, so please keep that in mind if you want to make an offer on the set. If interested, PM me with an offer. I accept Paypal, money order, check, or cash...payment with a check might mean a longer wait for shipping until the check clears. Photos to follow...pm me with any questions or requests for more photos, and I'll do my best to get you what you need.

One bump, then it goes on the pile of stuff that will eventually go to auction. If you've got any interest in something outside the norm, shoot me an offer.
That is bad a$$. Great item. Good luck with the sale.
