I thought they looked pretty awesome in those slabs but wasn't really that interested in them. But it was obvious the dealer was tired of dragging them around (they weigh 19 pounds!) and I bought the near set for $100 ($3.25 each already slabbed?). I purchased this PSA graded Butkus on Ebay, and I now have the #2 set in the PSA Registry! (Well there are only two sets submitted!)
I think these things would look awesome displayed on a wall in a "man-cave"

To me, that's a major score. Love the oddball stuff like that, and to get them slabbed to boot, oh man, wish I could run across a deal like that.
