Outside of these and the ones on Hatorade's site I haven't seen others (but always on the lookout in case more come out of the woodwork).

It looks like one of the above cards was graded a PSA 8 and listed on EBay recently. Other than that card, has anyone come across any blue cards?

I was curious about that GMA 8 one that sold on eBay last week. Hard to tell exactly which version it was from the pictures but I thought it had promise.

I've been trying to track down a PSA 10 of what I'd been calling the br2 version (and some call the second clearest version) for a long time in the BST section here. I was really excited to pick up a BGS 9.5 last week on EBay. Here is a picture of the card next to the clear one for comparison.

Steve, what does the rest of the BGS one look like? Can you post a picture of the whole card? Thanks!

Sure. Here is another one I took better showing that card. I was shining a light more on the sign in the BGS card in this one.

Interesting - thank you!

No dot to the left and no red pube, if I am seeing it correctly...

The BGS 9.5 actually does have the pube (on lower left) and the red comma (on lower right), but it doesn't have a dot in the upper blue bar. I've seen this version both with and without the dot. My guess is that dot actually keeps some really nice PSA 9s from being graded 10s.
