A couple of years ago, Topps commissioned a major dealer to buy up a whole bunch of fairly nice T206 cards so that they (Topps) could enclose them in the holders you see there, and stick them randomly into the current Topps year cards, as part of the never-ending quest for new promotions of these little slabs of cardboard.

The cards are definitely genuine, and usually in pretty good shape-- but the idea that they command some kind of premium just because Topps had its hot little hands upon them seems kinda silly to me.

Cheers,
