to sell the two cards has at least now come down to what could arguably be
considered a “reasonable” price in that the cards have gone for in the
neighborhood of $500 or more a piece when they have shown up on ebay.
What I don’t think he understands is that the while the card dated ’97 might
be more rare in that Sergio apparently had a few blanks (or at least one) and
gave them (it) away, to most card collectors I know it would not be considered
a “real” sketch card because it’s not one of the 50 and therefore it’s not
really valuable to them. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
