What is a Presentation Set?

[Buythatcard]

I know that this card is not WWII or older but I think that this is more a general question. If it doesn't belong in this section, then be free to move it.

I have sold over 100,000 cards since I started selling cards. Today, I came across something that I never saw before. I have a card that was graded by SGC which included "Presentation Set" on the label.

Does anyone know what "Presentation Set" refers to?

See attached image.

A presentation set is like a factory set. These were made to give to execs and other big wigs of the day

Too add a little flavor they are also typically cut a little smaller PSA will often reject them for not meeting size req

If you submitted this card to SGC without knowing the history behind it, how would they know that it was from a Presentation Set?

Never heard of this before.

One of the earliest forms of factory sets. However, they were only distributed to Topps employees, execs, colleagues, etc. They were distributed in a rudimentary display box.

Cardstock or gloss is also supposed to be slightly different, as well as the print is supposed to be crisper. So you could consider it a "Tiffany" set.
