I can not find any flaws with them, I guess not many people know about the set.
Well it is your job as a collector to know about them and pass the info on when you sell them, why are you selling them btw...?
I have plenty of information about these cards and know where 14 of the 50 sets are including Scotts, but remember they were never given out as sets, they were never meant for public release, so most of the remaining cards will be either lost or sold into personal collections as singles.
The cards were produced by Media Factory for Nintendo and the card stock has been accepted as correct by.....well lets just say at high levels for now.
The cards were produced for a closed door, invite only event at the Pokémon Center NYC. The event was an e-Reader Pre Release in mid August 2002, the cards were produced to allow PCNYC staff to demonstrate the e-Reader to mostly European Journalists, each card has a game or part of a game stored on either the side or bottom strip of the card. Normally you will find the longer strip (side) has the game or part of a game on it and the shorter strip (bottom) holds the data of the actual pokémon on the card
An example of this would be: You need to use the long side of the following cards....... Machop, Machoke then Machamp to gain access to a mini game called 'Machop at Work'
(Just for you Qwachansey - the Chansey card has a coin flipping game)
At the time it was mind blowing stuff but it also made these cards wanted by e-Reader collectors.
A lot of the original singles sold had a hole in the top corner where staff strung them together and attached them to a key fob / key ring thing.
The other cards were not meant to hit the streets but there is always a clever person or three whose eyes roll and think of the $$$.
Scott....go and add this info to your auction and if you really cant get any better pictures (yours suck) than you are using then I will scan my cards for you, really though....you wouldn't sell a car unwashed. Pictures and factual information are a must when selling such rare items.

P.S.
I would have bought them already as scott knows if they were 'legal' ie suitable for grading. You would have a better chance finding all the pokemon trophy cards in the world than convincing PSA to grade that set.
Get over PSA already......seriously get over it, you wont own some of the rarest cards in the world due to the fact a bunch on nits wont charge you a few hundred bucks to spend 10 seconds slapping a serial number on a plastic case whilst Fred decides if he is in a good mood and gives you a 10 or should he flip for it again seeing as he has a hangover and cant make his mind up.......get over it
