  Were all of these cards claimed???

2500 serial-numbered cards from the Mickey Mantle set were signed by Mantle, stamped with certification press, and randomly inserted into Series Two packs.

I hope they weren't all claimed.  I have some unopened boxes.

  I guess we'll never know.

I do not know of any system that records serial numbered cards that are found by collectors.  If it were a mail-in offer where you had to send in a card that you obtained to get teh real deal, then a company would have that info.  But with Score gone, i doubt if anyone will ever know for sure.

 Combine the sheer volume of Series 2 printed with the fact that all the best cards in the set were in Series 1, and you have an excellent chance that most of those Mantle cards are still buried in otherwise unsellable boxes of Series 2.

After posting that, I went to eBay to check the prices of Series 2, and everyone is clearly out of their mind.  Everyone still seems to be trying to get $15+ per box and $250+ per case.  At least Baseball Card Exchange is a bit more reasonable at $8 a box, but for some reason a case of 20 boxes is $200 (rather than the logical $160 based on per-box pricing).  Either way, that stuff isn't getting opened any time soon unless someone is just looking to drop several hundred dollars with a minimal chance of return on that "investment".
