So, how long until the '54 Topps cards inserted into the first year of Sports Illustrated are deemed collectible, and start showing up in PSA slabs? I never knew these existed until I got the latest issue of Old Cardboard. Apparently the August 23, 1954 issue (#2) had the complete New York Yankees team, including the Commerce Comet.

"That's right, kids. There's never been a 1954 Topps Mickey Mantle...until now! Straight from the pages of Sports Illustrated!"

Somebody is already selling reprints of the black and white "cards" for $9.95 a pop.

So, not only will the cut out cards be an issue, but the reprints as well.
