That said, sheets are generally very cumbersome to collect and display.

I would have to agree 100% with this statement because when it is all said and done, money is what makes the world go around. If a well known group or seller submits these cards to the grading companies probably some cards will "slip through" and end up in slabs with grades that are 9 and 10s. I am not saying that only the star cards will make it through. A common card in a graded 9 or 10 slab would fetch a pretty penny especially with those that compete in the set registries. I hope that this sheet ends up being framed and put on display rather than a piece of history being cut up and sold. Kinda reminds you of Upper Deck huh?
