These are the original cardboard backer proofs for the 1988 baseball, basketball, and football set. This is rare set, maybe the only set known. There are a few differences from the final released packages. The bottom corners are square and the hang tab is oval instead of an 'L' shape. The wording on the baseball and basketball is the same as the released, but the football package includes Walter Payton & Bo Jackson's name which were stricken from the released card. The logo on front of the football card was also recolored slightly before release.
