Thanks for posting these. The ones on the back are cool. Upper Deck was the best at including images on both the front and back.

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!

Because of you sharing, I went and set up a search for this card and won one, probably the easiest one to find, fairly cheap. Unfortunately it has not arrived yet. It was sent standard trading card method, so hoping it's just late like most of them and it arrives eventually. Great action shot and Womack wasn't terrible (1X AS), so it fits into my collection.

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?

I would tend to agree. Still no Womack card. Have saved the search to buy another, just in case mine never shows.

There are a few other cards in 1996 where Mattingly is using a black mitt with a blue wrist band on the right wrist and a gray wrist band on the left, but it would be good to have a Mattingly expert weigh in with their opinion on this one.

The last month I have been adding alot of the common players I used to ignore as well as buying cameo cards so I could get scans. Really dug into finding players on the backs of cards. John Jaha collectors are the biggest beneficiaries.

Current counts:

Total Cameo Records: 4053
Cameo Records without Parallels: 2772

I also moved the link under the Checklists tab and made a single page.

You have a new one I don't have. Also, for Sandberg, I think we've determined that the 1992 Topps Jeff Blauser is not Ryno.

Garvey shows up in some Rose passing Cobb hit items, but he is pretty much absent from cameo shots for the most part.
