$680 is a totally crazy price but then again it never should have gotten a numerical grade in the first place!
These initially sold for decent money years ago BUT when they were determined to have been cut from a notebook cover it really killed the prices. I always liked them until I found that out as well. Recently, when up for sale the commons in generally G to GVG condition have sold in the $50-125 range, more if a collector of a particular player gets in the mix and drives up the price.
IMO these aren't really cards and shouldn't be considered even W-Unc as they were never intended to be cut (there is no "Hey kid cut these out" or "cut along the dotted lines" notation on the cover). They are certainly cool looking but shouldn't be considered anything more than cutouts, BUT they have been part of the hobby long enough as singles that maybe hobby history will trump common sense.
