After seeing the Ozzie Smith cards it appears that they selected one card set/type released during those playing career. How does this play out for other players? Do some have several card type with a same year?

I think your off in that this was a BuyBack only release, meaning you buy a pack you get one. Recollection Autos were randomly distributed in packs and tough to pull.

So far for O'neill they repeat years. I have seen aAfter seeing the Ozzie Smith cards it appears that they selected one card set/type released during those playing career. How does this play out for other players? Do some have several card type with a same year?

I think the recollection autos have a decent following.
Ryan, I loved the Recollections tooYes , I agree. My point was they have a following and have maintained value because they were hard to pull as well as being sought after. Where I see the difference with Archives is they are sought after but not really hard to pull because each pack has one. So that may have an effect on value vs the Recollections.

That is awesome!
Very nice hit! Was your Grissom a Brewer?

Is the Cone a Yankee and if so which one. @nevermore and myself are looking for a one as a Yankee. Thanks for your time.
Ryan, I loved the Recollections too

I also think both topps originals and recollection had many more obscure or bit players in them. I know there's players like Vinny Castilla and Juan Gone in this set, but I'd really wanted guys nobody was thinking of, or less popular players like Aaron and Griffey Jr. As a Yankee collector, topps originals was great with Griffey Sr (god knows I've already seen a ton of him in this release), Bert Campanaris, and Ron Kittle. And then recollection had Lee Smith, J.T. Snow and Jay Buhner. Guess I just wanted more players like that in this set

I agree, but prefer Dodgers. Great way to get some obscure team players at a decent price (usually), if they stray from the norm. Unfortunately, they recycle the same players over and over again. Obviously only hardcore team collectors would appreciate most of the more obscure players and they need people buying their products, so we don't get much variety.
Would be nice to have cards of guys like Doug Rau, Tom Paciorek and other similar fan favorites. Heritage was hitting some of the more obscure 50s and 60s players, but the dodgers have been shortchanged in those issues.
I compiled this list, complete with images of all known Frank Thomas cards from 2015 Topps Archive Signatures. If you know of anything that I'm missing, please let me know so I can add it. Many thanks.
