1990 Norman James Co . Ltd. Locker Cards?
I have just seen a Mookie Wilson from this set, but couldn't find an image of the back, so don't know what the number is. -
The cost of modern player autographs has gotten out of control
A few years back, I really wanted to start a Billy Hamilton collection. He was in the process of breaking the minor league, single season stolen base record. Inevitably, his low numbered cards and autos spiked, and I basically gave up. However, some 4+ years later, he has long since forgotten... -
Does this look real?
The back looks fine, just a really bad photo, but that foil looks really bad. Even if it was legit, I'd avoid it just for the terrible photos that don't give enough detail to tell. Makes me think they're hiding the details. -
R&N Topps porcelain cards
Could just be because some idiot keeps trying to document the actual cards that exist, hoping to land all of his player collection wants before he dies of old age. 154 of 825 confirmed and counting...only one PC hit, so far. -
R&N Topps porcelain cards
They have been listed in Beckett before. Beckett isn't exactly known for their thorough research and unmatched precision. They have listed two non-existent errors in the 1990 Classic Blue set for 30 years. -
R&N Topps porcelain cards
There is no evidence to support any "full sets" ever having been created. Besides, given the retail for these at the time, that would have run over $10K. -

Prospecting, maintaining and then forgetting - The refusal to let go of a lost player!
I'm still waiting for Billy Hamilton's early autos to collapse so I can start a collection of him. They're still coasting off his minor league SB record. -

My old friend the saved eBay search turned up another treasure this week. I wasn't aware that the Giants had updated the yearly Fan Fest photo card design in the past 5 years, but then a lot popped up featuring Matt Herges, Rich Schu, Curt Young and the Bam Bam featured here. Very similar to... -

Welcome back your ... Cleveland Spiders! -
A question about Topps oddball brands during the junk wax era.
Toys R Us always had a pretty big sports card selection in the late 1980s. I remember seeing the Topps Leaders, Coins and Big there, along with of course the TRU Rookies boxed sets. I only remember seeing the Topps UK and Donruss All Stars at hobby shops or from dealers at shows and flea... -
Derrick Jeter R & N China porcelain silver 1993 rookie card
I have only ever seen a silver Jeter, I've not seen a silver version of any of the other 1993 cards. I think the Jeters were from an entirely separate offering from the regular 1993 cards. -
Derrick Jeter R & N China porcelain silver 1993 rookie card
I think the only year they allegedly made the whole set was 1993. The other years just seem to be limted to certain superstar players, or the teams that went to the World Series. -
What is the story on STAR cards from the 80's/90's?
Both Beckett and SCD did a poor job of documenting the Star Glossy minor league team sets. I think TCDB.com has them all listed as one of the members used to work for Star. I had one sneak up on me for my Tuffy Rhodes collection, as no one had documented a glossy set for the Columbus Mudcats... -
Player collector doldrums
I've been stalled for ages in my Roberto Kelly collection. The remaining cards aren't even 1/1 territory, but they might as well be as they're largely 1999-2000 Pacific color parallels. What is frustrating is that I'm sure most of them are buried somewhere in Burbank's warehouse, years away... -
Obscure player collections?
I've been collecting Hensley Meulens since 1989. Missing four cards that I know of, one of those Leaf cut autos /4, his only pack-issued auto card from Japan /34, a team issued card that was only given away at Giants signing events and a back-doored 1990 Upper Deck 25th anniversary buyback... -
Just passed 2,000 different cards for a player collection
Still about 50 cards short of 2000 for my Winfield collection. I need to get back into trading and see if I can close that gap with all the recent parallels issued in the last few years. -
Jesse Barfield/Mark McGwire Card
There were a LOT of these from about 1987-1991. Bizarrely, Topps even sold whole cut card cases of them, along with blank backs and blank fronts. Kruk Cards used to sell them for like $200 for a box of something like 8000+ carrds -
1993 Topps Porcelain cards?
Even a cursory search of eBay contradicts your 1000 theory. 32 Don Mattingly, Yankees, #/1000 116 Mark Lemke, Braves, #/1000. 224 Sid Bream, Braves, #/1000 565 Jerald Clark, Rockies, #/5000 This is my saved search, mostly trying to track the 1993 cards, and trying to filter out the others... -
1993 Topps Porcelain cards?
Never seen the 1994 magnets before. I doubt all of the set was produced, either. A lot of the commons I've seen are still listed on eBay or completed and didn't sell. I did snag the Roberto Kelly for my player collection. -
1993 Topps Porcelain cards?
https://clydes-stalecards.blogspot.com/2010/10/1993-topps-r-china-porcelain-baseball.html So far, I have found evidence (meaning I've actually seen a scan or photo) of 145 of the 825 total that would make up a 1993 complete set. I have yet to find any piece of advertising media explaining how... -
Ticket Stubs
When I started running out of reasonably prced cards to collect of my players, I started looking for ticket stubs from their first and last MLB games but I really don't want to drop more than $10-15. Got a few so far. But once people realize what the stub represents, up goes the price, even... -
Don Mattingly
Not at the rate he's going. He wasn't getting in on his playing career, and his managing career is getting worse each year since he left LA. -
R&N Topps porcelain cards
As with several players who had alternate offerings of their 1993 cards, usually in connection to a career retrospective, I am positive there were 2 or 3 different ways the Jeter was offered. Unfortunately, I have had no luck tracking down any sales material relating to any but a few of these... -
Tiffany or O-Pee-Chee, which do you think will be worth more long term?
As far as grading goes, the OPC, pre-1991 were far more difficult to find in great condition. They suffer from wax and gum stains, bad centering and rough edges.
