    Cards "missing" from a player's career

    You youngsters won't remember, but Gorman Thomas had cards in 1974-77 Topps. He wasn't in the majors in 1977, so he didn't have a 1978 Topps, when he WAS in the majors. So . . . I made my own. I've also done custom cards of many of those named here. You can see many of them at my blog...

    Sports Card Digest (SCD) 1982... Collecting Magazine Focus #1

    A quick correction . . . that's Sports Collectors Digest. Interesting side note, the guy who wrote the article panning (rightfully so) 1982 Fleer later went to work for Fleer.

    Baseball players you are glad weren't very good and pursued other careers.

    Nope, that's not one of mine. Though I do have a couple of same/similar black-and-white photos that I intend to use to create a minor league card someday.

    Is this a steal of one of the poorest quality sets ever made?

    They were "distributed" by direct sales to collectors at shows and in ads in some of the hobby papers. They are unlicensed and give "broders" a bad name.

    ST.LOUIS TICKET WARNING! IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND A WS GAME IN STL READ THIS!

    This reminds me of the 1982 World's Series in St. Louis. Walking around the stadium before the game, I saw a guy pick a pocket. As I was giving a cop a description, etc., I saw the pickpocket walking nearby. "There he is now," I told the cop. Busted!

    Some help with a magazine search

    Because of the paper's weekly nature and (in the mid-1980s through mid-1990s) its huge page count, most collectors threw out "last week's" paper when the new issue arrived. There is a set of bound copies in the SCD library, and over the years I heard from a couple of collectors who had saved a...

    Any way to find out a magazine's circulation?

    Publications mailed 2nd Class (as Beckett is/was) have to publish a "Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation" around Oct. 1 each year. You'll have to check the Oct. or Nov. issues for the years you want. It's usually hidden in fine print in the back of the mag.

    Minor League Card Almanac?

    I did all the compiling for the minor league section of the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards and never heard of such an issue. My guess is that is not contemporary with Sveum's Stockton days.

    House moving find: 1992 NSCC Baseball set

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

    Are You Better Than a Professional Baseball Player?

    Aren't we forgetting about the rest of the fielders? IF you could get wood on the ball and put it into play in fair territory, what chance would you have against professional infielders and outfielders?

    Curtis Martin "Unreleased Error Card"?

    You're right; I hadn't noticed that. But that's really just a misprint, not an "error".

    Curtis Martin "Unreleased Error Card"?

    Digging through some of the stuff I accumulated when I was editing/publishing SCD, the Standard Catalogs, etc., I found this card in a group of Collectors Edge stuff. It was all by itself in a 9-pocket sheet with a factory label "Unreleased Error Card". To me it appears to be a standard 1998...

    Really? This was the only picture you could find, Topps?

    Those who were active in 1982 may remember the hubbub raised when Topps and Fleer used ther same photo.
