Thoughts on 1990 Topps Sammy Sosa Ink error
It's a printing hickey. You can Google the term for an explanation of how they occur. Most consider them a defect, not an error card with added value.- gracecollector

Vintage Pick Up Thread
Found this for my local baseball collection. In Aoril 1964, Dizzy Trout visited Marengo IL as a guest speaker for a Father/Son banquet. Trout was employed by the White Sox front office at that time as a team ambassador. Trout was a great storyteller, having been an announcer for several years...- gracecollector

Odd fielding glove swatch - what is it?
Can't figure out why there's woven material adhered to this Vladimir fielding glove relic? Any idea what it is - maybe medical tape? Not sure what purpose adhering it to glove leather serves. Ideas?- gracecollector

Retro Donruss, Fleer, and Topps box breaks: First post (and visit) in the forums in 13 years
Your 1998 Donruss box prices are all about the Crusade chase. You're likely to get the inserts you mention - plus a cool production line card - and no Crusade, but there is the chance. You have seen the crazy amounts people are paying for Crusades, correct? Honestly, not a great time to be...- gracecollector

The "Cameo" Thread
The blue foil version shouldn't have cost you much. I do think it's a cool action shot. Womack's 1998 Topps Gallery card uses a photo from the same play! What do you think - I think the Gallery photo is a fraction of a second before the Bowman photo?- gracecollector

The "Cameo" Thread
I recently, after 20 years of looking, found the gold foil autograph of this 1998 Bowman Tony Womack. It's limited to 25 copies. Here it is with the Silver (75 copies) and Blue (500 copies). Definitely my most expensive cameo!- gracecollector

Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3
Success after 20 years of looking for the gold foil 1998 Bowman autograph of Tony Womack (I'm nothing if not patient). Have all three versions now, blue (500 copies), silver (75 copies) and gold (25 copies). All that for a Mark Grace cameo appearance!- gracecollector

That is correct. Everyone called him Rabbit though, and as you can see on these matchbook, it was sometimes spelled with two Ts, as in Rabbitt.- gracecollector

Today I finished the rainbow for my Rabbit Maranville collection. The final pickup was the green, with all matches intact. My favorite things about the 1934 Diamond Matchbooks are the large checklist and nice little bio write ups.- gracecollector
