I lucked out same era, probably 2001, scored both the green background and batting Ruths for roughly $750 on a single eBay auction. Think they were poorly listed/photographed, and had the "found in the attic" type description that many avoid. However also seemed like there were so many more of them back then, and probably far fewer eyes searching for them, so things actually could slip through the cracks. The 144 was raw reviewed a 2 by Beckett at a card show, the green is still raw, but similar condition wise.
