While flipping through the 1995 National Sports Collectors Conference Auction catalog, a lot for a complete pair of Sea Raiders uncut sheets stood out to me. It caught my attention because I had highlighted the set’s key card, #45 Pirate’s Legacy (the map card), in Newsletter #9.
The NSCC catalog described the pair as all 48 cards in full color, including the biographical backs. The low-numbered sheet (cards 1–24) was noted as remarkably clean and pristine. The high-numbered sheet, printed in Canada, showed slight toning, faint creasing, and minimal wear.
After seeing this, I searched for related sales. REA sold a low-series sheet for $4,444 in spring 2013.
More notably, Heritage sold a framed pair in October 2024 for $10,200. Based on the descriptions, an American-printed low series (R124) sheet and a Canadian-printed high series (V359) sheet, the Heritage pair may have been the same one originally offered in the 1995 NSCC auction.
Happy collecting!

P.S. The lot in the 1995 NSCC Catalog also included this wrapper!
This is a very attractive set.
I grow more fond of it every time I look into it!
