One of the hobby's more underrated issues the 80-card Nu-Card "Baseball Scoops" set featured a mock newspaper front each of the set's 80 cards featuring a highlight from the history of the game. Each of the cards contains a large photo and "headline" on the card front along with a "news" article on the reverse of each card. Due to the subject matter of the issue the set contains cards of many of the greatest players to have ever set foot on a ballfield between the dawn of the game and the year of the set's issue. The 8.089 GPA of this set qualifies it for #16 on the PSA Set Registry. It is an astonishing set with a significant number of cards grading MINT 9 really just a few upgrades shy of Top 10 status. A breakdown of the set's cards by grade is as follows: PSA MINT 9 (27 cards): #403 #404 #406 #407 #409 #410 #411 #413 #415 #420 #421 #422 (Mantle) #425 #430 #437 #439 #448 #451 #453 #454 #457 #458 #459 #460 #466 #467 (DiMaggio) #474; PSA MINT 9 (Q) (2 cards): #464 #469; PSA NM-MT+ 8.5 (2 cards): #432 #449; PSA NM-MT 8 (38 cards): #401 #402 #405 #408 #412 #414 #418 #419 #423 #424 #426 #427 (Mays) #428 #429 #431 #433 #434 #435 #436 #438 #440 #443 (Cobb) #444 #445 #446 #452 #455 #462 #463 #465 #468 #470 #471 #472 #476 #477 (Mathewson) #479 #480; PSA NM-MT 8 (Q) (1 card): #447 (Ruth); PSA NM 7+ (1 card): #416 (Mantle/Maris); PSA NM 7 (6 cards): #417 #441 #442 #450 (Mantle) #475 #478; PSA EX-MT 6 (2 cards): #456 #473; PSA EX 5 (1 card): #461. Simply a spectacular set with 84% of its cards grading NM-MT or better an extremely high-ranking registry set just a few inexpensive upgrades shy of being one of the finest known. 80 cards total.
