I have a cardboard standee from 1994-95 of Emmitt Smith from Monsters of the Gridiron. It is 54 inches tall by 42 inches wide and was used in major grocery stores. There should be 30 different NFL players with the same standee, one from every team, but I can't find any information about the standee. What is the value of this item and is it potentially one of a kind if Coke had to pick them up and destroy them?
