The Numis News sets were a subscription premium for ordering one of their periodicals during part of 1982. They simply came free with a subscription. This is really remarkable considering that today even a very poor set is worth more than a subscription and some of these are worth many hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This was a fairly small cost product for them to put together in quantity with a face value of $1.82 and probably no more than another dollar in associated costs yet it has paid large dividends to collectors. Many of these were probably destroyed and spent by the original owner and many more have been busted up by collectors.

I've never seen a counterfeit and doubt any exist.

They wholesale at only $10 but you can get much more for even a poor set. Nobody would sell one for less than $25 or so and sets with even a single choice or gem might bring much more.
