Could someone explain what the visual differences are in this set, in the Dick Perez Sketch cards and the Dick Perez Authentic Sketch cards are. Both sets look identical, although it is noted that one set is not serial numbered even though the cards are listed as 1/1 in both sets?

Thanks

The Authentic Sketch are the original cards done by the artist hence the 1/1. The non-SN set is just reproductions of that original.

Thanks for your reply but I fail to see and differences when looking at the scans of the cards; and no wording stating which one is the reprint. I think they dupliucated this insert set !

No, they are separate sets, but we keep getting people putting the incorrect images in the true 1/1 set (like you did).

I may be wrong on this, but I think the actual 1/1's say "one of one" on the back. Again, not positive, but that may be the case.

And this was discussed in this set's forum before:

I finally found some images of a true 1/1 from thsi set - and they are mini-sized. These images were pulled from the web and are totally unacceptable, but when the images are removed, I'll be adding them (and then tagging them for replacement), as a means of reference since so many people get this wrong.

Now that you were able to locate one, perhaps adding in the set notes something like “The sketch cards, unlike their reprint counterparts, do not have a frame around the sketch”.

I find it hilarious that 3 members claim to have all 30 SN1 cards, or that multiple members (sometimes up to 5 or more) believe they all possess the SN1 card.  Really bad design decision by Topps.

I got this added, but if anyone wants to improve the wording, please do!

"Original Sketch Perez cards that are the true 1/1 cards are 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" and have different numbers from the full-sized reproductions (begin with DP)"
