House moving find: 1992 NSCC Baseball set

[gt5717b]

Yesterday I moved into a new house and while packing up the last few boxes of the basement I stumbled onto an old set of cards I had purchased when I was a kid. An ebay search showed it was the 1992 National Sports Collector's baseball cards. I have the whole 12 card set and they're in mint condition. I didn't see them listed on Becket. Is there a source that tracks these promo card values other than trying to find them on eBay?

I don't remember all the cards off hand, but it had 2 Frank Thomases, 2 Cal Ripkens, Deion Sanders, David Justice, Nolan Ryan, Mickey Mantle, 2 Yankees I didn't recognize, Ivan Rodriguez and I can't recall the other one.

Here are the 3 ebay listings. One of them looks like it has a gold front and mine have the silver looking front.

Once we finish unpacking and find them, I'll add scans.

I also found several cards I had put into top-loaders in the early 90s thinking they'd be worth a lot in 20 years. 20 years later and I think they're worth less now than they were then.

Cards included:
1990 Topps Ken Griffey Jr RC
1993 Topps Frank Thomas
1992 Donruss Jeff Bagwell DK
1992 Stadium Club Jeff Bagwell Member's Choice
1993 Ultra Greg Maddux Cy Young
1992 Pinnacle Barry Bonds Slugfest
1992 Pinnacle Bobby Bonilla Slugfest

It was like looking into a time capsule of the cards I thought were the most valuable at the time. Fun memories.

Good stuff.

I ran across a similar box the other day when I was looking for something…among other things it had a Nolan Ryan TSC tuxedo card, a Nolan Ryan Pacific “no-hitter #7” gold parallel card, a set of Arena holograms, and the ’92 Skybox double-sided USA Dream Team card. I remember how awesome it was to pull that.

Anyway, I probably put those things away thinking they’d be worth a fortune some day. Ha. At least the Ryan gold card might still be worth a few bucks…

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but here are the pics of the cards. Anybody else seen these before? They weren't listed at Beckett.com and there are only one or two on eBay.
I think the Yankees player is Gerald Williams but I'm not sure. None of them have names on the cards. The backs just say National Sports Collection Convention July 9-12. I assume it was 1992 because that's when it was in Atlanta.

Same design, company, etc of ripken but totally different yr.

Thought I knew

Interesting. That's definitely the same card design but a different photo of Cal from the 2 in my photo. I know I have a complete set because they were packaged together and were labeled "1 of 12, 2 of 12, 3 of 12,...,12 of 12".


edit: Some more popped up today it seems, or I better refined my search:

here's an auction that has the back of the card pictured

The mantle popped up, too.

And the Ripken

Looks like the bigger players are worth anywhere from $8-$10 while the lesser players are probably a couple of bucks.

Those Pro File cards are anunauthorized collectors' issue (generically known as broders). Neither Beckett nor the Standard Catalog lists such items.
