The Uma Thurman and the Yoda are oversized "widevision" cards, so more edges for edge wear, I guess. I remember in the early 90's, it was actually hard to find protective materials for that size of card, and I'm not sure that widevision size-specific card storage boxes were ever produced.

Here's my own Frank Oz. I got it from the Topps No Purchase Necessary offer and it may have sat outside in my mailbox for a few days. It was in a card sized widevision manila envelope and that was in a slightly larger padded envelope, but with no other protection. Its seems to have made it through OK. I'm still fairly amazed Topps sent out cards like this as NPN prizes.

Here's a few of the non-sport subjects from the just released Allen & Ginter set, which is mostly baseball cards:

I only got one box, and I missed getting a Seth Meyers card, but I'm glad to have the Kenan and the LD. Also got a Bryan Cranston, but he's in a Dodgers uniform so he's in my scan of Dodger cards in the Dodger thread.

And the owner of those cards posted on Facebook that that 1997 Skybox Batman & Robin Schwarzenegger auto (and 2003 the Comic Images Terminator 3 auto) got rejected as secretarial. Both PSA/DNA and CGC/JSA think that now.

Picked up this tri-way display on eBay…wasnt much.

Why? I have no idea lol. I just really liked Fleer/Skybox as a company and I view what they did in the 90s as one of the best/most creative periods of trading cards, especially with marvel. A company like Topps making marvel cards currently could take a few lessons from them honestly in terms of how to make quality non-generic looking sets (but who cares I guess since they’re bringing in the $$$$). This can remind me of the glory days
