Thank you!

Yeah, the things people will pay $$$ for! When the set first came out, I saw some completed auctions on ebay for 10k, but to be honest when I opened my pack the cards were going in the 4-6,000 range, and then they went down to $1,5-2,000 or so after he got hurt. Asian market is helping this here, I am absolutely sure.

Andy, the Thompson back only appears on Thompsons as far as I know. Check out Mike Peich's excellent website on this:

About half way down, you'll see his discussion of these. There are actually quite a few variations of the Thompson back but all appear on Thompson's card. If I had to guess, I would say there are probably 20 or so Thompsons in existence? Maybe someone knows that better than me!
