Apparently, there are now "3" total across PSA & SGC. I can see another Fake Swamp find in the very near future uncovering 1000's of these things.

It's out "From the Dan Gantt collection" and "Into the FuddJcal collection" now at record prices like most crap I buy.

Thanks again guys for sharing the story. I'm tickled to own it.

I�m not sure I understand what you mean by fake.

Here is an Engle NYAL. Sure looks like it was hand cut

I agree, definitely looks hand cut. My personal feeling on these is that they came in some format that allowed a retailer to affix them to some kind of poster or promotional sign in their stores in order to promote the chips by showing what players will be available in the tins. I think that�s why there�s no advertising on the back and some have been found with glue residue of some type on them. I also think these are fairly rare as evidenced by the various pop reports.

That sounds plausible...

Thanks everyone for chiming in after the fact. Appreciate the responses resurrecting an old topic.

Just a fancy word I like to use when it's not exactly as it seems.
