Anyone know why the Star cards from the mid 80s don't show up in the print or online guides? Anyone know what they're "worth" graded?

    These cards were reprinted by Star in later years than their original issue, so most grading companies have passed on grading them.

    There is some info out there which says Beckett is about to start grading them. I am not sure if they have some new info which will allow them to tell if the cards were part of the original print, or those which were printed at a later date. That is the main reason people have stayed clear and been leery of these cards.

    Edit for typo

    I'm not a Big fan of GAI myself, But They do have Steve Taft who authenticates the Star Co. issues (atleast they did) From my understanding he's very Knowledgable about these cards..
