Nice pickup! This set is a personal favorite of mine, mostly due to it's amazing assortment of players. I'm by no means an expert on this set, but hopefully there's one on the board that can help you, but I'll tell you as much as I can. I'm sure you know (as it says on the card) that these were "contest cards" of sorts and you could win money if your serial number matched the winning one. From what I've seen there has been no exceptional finds of these, but I'm sure there have been many smaller finds of the cards. The cards are not hard to find in mint condition. There serial numbers at the bottom of the card determine the color of the word "OFFERS" on the front, it can be either red or black, I haven't heard of one being rarer than the other. Cards from 000000 to 099999 have the black "OFFERS," 100000 to 150000 have either color and past 150000+ is in red.

Hope some of this info helps,

Owen
