sorry for the delay. yes there are 4 in the set. i was pointed in the direction of Steve Taft. apparently he knows everything there is to know about the Star cards. his response was lacking to me but he did say if there is blue ink bleed on the backs then they are original. thats basically all the info i got from him. i did my own bit of research as well. and then i got this info from someone on the Blowout forums.
"Best of the new and old were printed 880 sets of each given to master dealers as a bonus for x amount of reg issue sets bought. there were also a bunch of best of the new sets printed but not given out, ended up being sold in 90 in an action.the original 880 sets had Ewing on top,the auction sets had Jordan on top.
You have an auction set,i do not know the production of the auction sets but based on availability id say a few 1000. some used to say the "jordan on top" sets were not lic, i believe it was proven all the best of the new sets were printed at the same time."
im going to end up submitting them for grading.
