Default Very slightly ...LOL,...OT re: Mint Grading Co.

I believe it was such a large find that there was a collector who ran regular ads in SCD where you could buy a near set for $99 (which included Robinson, Louis and Williams). There was a short article in Sports Illustrated about how there were about 1200 near sets which were found in mint condition. Kind of a shame that people seem to be under the impression the square cornered cards are fakes, but these cards are from 1947.
