RARE G2 Protectobots on Ebay

Transformers collector Delphan Rane has posted an Ebay auction for a set of four extremely rare holy grails: The G2 Protectobots - First Aid, Streetwise, Groove, and Blades - Mint on sealed card and AFA graded.
Originally, back in the days of Generation 2, these four, and Hot Spot, were to have been mass-produced for general retail along with the Stunticons, Combaticons, Aerialbots, and the Constructicons. However, only the Constructicons (in two color schemes), the Aerialbots, and the Combaticons ever made it into mass release. The Stunticons and the Protectobots never got to see the light of day... until recently.
However, the G2 Stunticon Breakdown would be released as a BotCon exclusive, but nothing ever became of the other Stunticons or any of the Protectobots. Though, some small quantities of factory-packaged samples of each team were produced, but are extremely hard to come by (with Hot Spot and Motormaster being the rarest of them all).
