And here they are. One silver lining of the recent card price inflation is that I discovered this set. I wouldn�t have looked seriously at it if the 48/49 Leafs for these players hadn�t doubled (tripled?). In hand, they are awesome. Their slapdash nature is charming, and they feel suffused with �oldness.� The tinting is reminiscent of some of the old caramel cards � E94, E98, etc. I love them.

Nice cards. Is that Mays more OC on the back than the front? It may be close to the standard for the front for a 6, (80/20) - but honestly given PSA's normal practice, I think that's kind of harsh to give the OC qualifier to if they are talking about the front only. Grades below 7 getting the OC are kind of rare to start with, because the requirement gets easier.
