Please help with this issue. What do I have here?

it was discovered that Mike has the sheets up for the cheap price of $1599 on an BIN.

It was titled something like 1955 All-American Photos,...

Pretty cool item; no matter what the value is, and something I wished I had known in my Beckett days to catalog as I loved to list sets like that. Hopefully Bob can get that set into the F&W (Krause) data base

Under the heading "Golf" looks like a couple of tennis players also!

From the list of boxers it may be a bit earlier. Billy Peacock's career seems to have ended in 1953 and Pierre Langlois's in 1955.

Thank for the info. I did email Mike through Ebay and he gave me some good info on them. He said that he has owned 3 sets in 25 years and has only seen one other set sell in an auction about 10 or 15 years ago. He also said that he didn't even know what to call the set until he found a membership card and letter.

As I mentioned in the parallel thread on CU, I've previously declined the opportunity to list these in the catalog data base.

Despite the numbers, they stray too far afield from the concept of player cards/collectibles. They have no names, no stats, bios, etc. They are really just big composite pictures on cheap stock.

"They have no names, no stats, bios, etc. They are really just big composite pictures on cheap stock."

So, in other words, strip cards...individually numbered and capable of being cut up into separate cards.

FWIW, the boxers will go into my next edition of the boxing catalog.

I'm pretty sure the same type of cards/photos was sold in the most recent Hunt's auction (the internet version).
