PSA 10 Frank Thomas - 1997 Skybox E-X 2000 A Cut Above. POP 4. Condition is "Brand New". Shipped with USPS First Class.

You are bidding on a tough graded PSA 10 Skybox EX2000 - A Cut Above. #1 - Frank Thomas 

All these corners double as grading condition hazards, making it very easy to get a nick on at least one of them.

But that’s only part of the story on why these cards remain standouts all these years later. One can’t ignore their rarity. A Cut Above cards landed 1:288 packs. That works out to 1:12 boxes for any one card or 120 boxes to build the set (without getting any doubles).

Taking die-cuts to extremes, the insert theme takes on a concrete form. All of the cards are cut to resemble a table saw blade. Holographic foil offers a metallic look, albeit one that’s in line with the bold design trends that were taking place in the hobby at the time. But lots of sets use foil. Few have the sharp points and corners that 1997 E-X2000 A Cut Above has.

Today, finding 1997 E-X2000 A Cut Above cards is tough. But that’s understandable. Any 1:288 card from the 1990s was hard to find back then. Fast forward a couple of decades and most have long since been absorbed into personal collections or even forgotten about.
