2004 SPx Football PROMO cards
*** VERY SCARCE ***
These very scarce unreleased 2004 SPx Football PROMO cards
were made by Upper Deck for Krause Publications to be used at a major
sportscard show. Krause did not attend the show and these cards were
never released.
We obtained them years later at a large warehouse auction.
They are so scarce that I have never seen complete sets or even large
lots elsewhere.
When singles are found on eBay, even commons ask $1 to $3 each.

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
