Not everyone is as knowledgeable as you regarding seldom seen cards/sets like these Dice Cards.
I had a handful of them in my collection in the early 70's and I wrote many articles on Topps Test sets for Dan Dischley's The Trader Speaks around that time.
A few years back I picked up four new to the hobby Dice cards of Mantle, Mays, Musial and Richardson and there were some articles written about the find at the time.
The person writing the description for the auction contacted me for some background about the set so he could provide correct info to prospective bidders.
You say you don't know why consultation was needed, well just to give you one example Steve Bloedow who runs Colllect Auctions did not know that they are really 1963 not 1961 as has been historically noted incorrectly. Steve is not the person writing the description, but info on scarce sets like these are not always known to everyone in the hobby. I bet there are some things even you don't know about every set.
