As for PSA, you'd think they would welcome a potential re-holdering fee. It's a good thing no potential rookie cards are on the sheet or all hell would break loose.
BTW, do we know if the back of the sheet is blank or instead contains the game info?

FYI the sheet reverse is printed with the game info on each card I have been told.

Excellent! That should bump the value, or at least not subtract from it. Thanks Fred.

I guess now we understand what was meant by staining being a condition issue here.

It's almost as old as I am and i think it looks pretty good for its age. It sure looks like a final production sheet.

I think it looks pretty good also. Could foxing occur on a sheet like that?

Defining Foxing
Foxing is the bane of paper collectors everywhere. It is a phenomenon wherein ugly brownish-red spots begin to appear on paper. It’s not water damage, it’s not a bacterial colony, in fact it’s not known exactly what it is. What is known is that it commonly happens to paper products as they age.



Luckily, strictly speaking, foxing doesn’t impact the integrity of the paper. It is an unsightly blemish, but that’s all it is. However, we admit that we stretch the term a little bit to cover other age-related discoloration of paper. And the processes behind that discoloration, though lacking in a pithy name, is considerably more dangerous to the collectible.

I agree that it is better described as light foxing. I don't find it all that distracting, as it seems most noticeable in the borders and not on most of the player cards, but then again maybe my screen or the pics don't show it very well. It also seems that there is none or very little foxing/staining on the reverse--I wonder if the front of the sheet has a gloss that is lacking from the back (would make sense) and whether that could be a factor.

An outstanding item in any event. I could put a comma in my bid, but I'm afraid someone else will have too many numbers to the left of it for me to win
