while smart fellows like us don't give a rats you-know-what about the encasing of the card, they do look to be pretty rare. y'all surely know about all these jersey swatch cards, and the like -- it's the same idea. If somebody put a 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch piece of Gehrig jersey for sale at $200, we'd laugh. (And so would collectors of modern-day cards.) But put that same swatch behind a little window in an Upper Deck subset, #'d to 25, and it's worth at least that much.

Makes me want to counterfeit the topps encasing thingys...get rid of my 206 dupes in a flash.
