Hi Guys,

I'm a first time poster here, but have lurked here for awhile now. I really appreciate this thread and the good information you all have provided on the historical distribution of the Mini's.

I'm an avid collector of '75 Topps Mini's in both graded and raw form since 2008. I'm also an avid participant in the Mini thread on the PSA forum going by the user id "Indy78." I guess I'm one of those Mini fanatics over there, lol.

Regarding the Mini sheet, I don't know too much about them and have no interest in collecting them. I saw one with Yaz on it sell on eBay last month for around $675. Others I recall going for between $600-$800 plus depending upon condition. If that sheet were in decent shape and I had to make a guess on what it would bring, I would think one could get $800-$1,000 for it because it has the Brett and Yount. With that said, if it were me and the sheet was in great shape, I would consign it with an auction house. If it was in not-so-great condition, I'd probably try to sell it myself on eBay.

The latest discussion we've been having over there in the 75 Mini thread is on whether anyone has ever seen or had reliable knowledge of the existence of 75 Mini's being distributed to dealers way back when in cut card cases. I would appreciate it if anyone could share their experience in this area if they've seen or heard of a Mini cut card case. There's some recent speculation that perhaps it's possible that the 20,000-card lot originating from Mr. Conlon's Mini collection auctioned by REA around 2009 may have been from a cut card case. I'd be curious if anyone knows anything about those topics and would be willing to share.

Thanks!
