OLD SCHOOL 90's GUYS...Who got in on this Toughie?

1992 Hit the Books Bookmarks. There was a whole bunch of them that went tonight. I have only seen one Gwynn before. I definitely overpaid, but one of the very few pre-1996 cards I need...

There was a battle for the lot with Sandberg. Fortunately, I picked mine up a few years ago for much less than that.

Is that actually considered a card? A pricey one too?

Not Pricey...I would expect to pay about $1.00 for something like this and ended up paying around $8.00...
It's just one of those strange cards that has been on my original Gwynn list from Beckett, so it's always been a blank spot to check off. Nothing fancy..
Maybe not even worth a post, but to me it has been tough.

oh crap - I've been looking for the Butler. It didn't show up in my search, was it part of a lot?

edit: sonuva... yes, it was. I'm gonna have to try to contact the winning bidder. I'm hoping it was a board member.

The Ripken lot had Butler, Dawson and Ripken and surprisingly only went for about $6.oo... Sorry, I never even knew there were others for sale until tonight, and they all went at the same time!

I just sent the seller a note thru eBay to see if he's willing to ask the buyer to contact me. Here's hoping.

There are actually two different versions of these bookmarks. The ones in the lots that were listed this week are from the Virginia Education Association. The other version is from the New Jersey Education. The difference is on the line at the bottom on the back that says who the sponsor is. The fronts are the same on both versions.

I picked up the Ozzie for about 10 bucks from chandy a few months ago. It was on my want list for quite awhile before I got it.

I also know of bookmarks from Minnesota of the same style, but they were all Twins. I broke up some sets from NJ and VA back in the 1990s, so if anyone is interested, send me a PM and I'll check on your player.

There are at least four different versions of these bookmarks. I have two different Ozzie variations and I know the Brett Butler collector has three (two of which I have never seen)

I have: NJ and Virginia and he has Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Nice rainbow?

Looks like two more variations to add to the list. Thanks for sharing!

woo hoo! I contacted the seller, and he set up a quick BIN for the '92 Virginia - he ended up sending me two of them! Now I've got the '92 and '93 Virginias.

Still need the '92 New Jersey, though.

I know this is virtually a dead topic, but wanted to add a little more info. I just picked up a 1993 Virginia set of Will Clark this week. I now have 6 different ones, with quite a few more most likely available. I have the 1992 New Jersey & Virginia, the 1993 Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and National Educationa Association, and the 1994 Virginia. I don't have any West Virginia and some collectors have those too. If each state had one each year, that would leave at least 6 to 8 more to collect, right??? Obviously a ton of very minor variations to the cards, but these things have been pretty fun (and a bitch) to put together.

Yowch! How can you do that to us!!!!
I knew there was one, 18 years later I just got two, and now there may be 12 or 14?
Gotta love being a player collector!!!

:lol: Well, I'm definitely not an expert on them, but have picked ones up that I need for years now. I'm up to 6 different. Here is a list of Clarks that should exist:

1992: Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, National Education Association
1993: Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, National Education Association
1994: Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, National Education Association

I have 2 of those from '92, 3 from '93, and 1 from '94. I definitely don't know for sure, but if Clark is in all years (which he definitely is), I would assume he is in each state's version, which would leads me to believe there is as many as 15 different total. Although, I've only seen the 1993 years have the plain National Education Association version and only scans of other players in West Virginia, so not exactly sure what Clark has from those types. I really don't know, but I'd like to see this thread continue. What versions/years do other player collectors have? Heck, maybe there is another version I don't even know of.
