The "Cameo" Thread

ThoseBackPages · Oct 24, 2011

just went through the following sets:

1989 UD High #
1990 UD High #
1991 UD Final Edition

Nothing in them as far as cameos go.

I started going through these a long time ago and apparently only got to 1992. A Canseco collector asked me to look for cameos. I was pretty shocked at how few cameos there were in the early McGwire collection considering the people batting around him and the fact he was a 1B. But these were the only distinguishable cameos up to 1992 I have listed. There were a bunch of guys like Carney and Boone but I didn't list those guys because I don't know if they have any collectors:

Looks like Palmeiro but not 100% certain:

Not the cameo you want to see but the topless guy in the top left's claim to fame (twice)

Canseco (there is both a regular and glossy version of the yellow star)

Mattingly

Luckily I grabbed most of the data before we lost the last week, but there were a few posts at the end that I did not finish. I believe the Piazza was one of them. The link to the Cameo Checklist in my signature has the current data, so if you have info on a player that is not included, repost if you would like me to add it.

Lost a few posts, eh? Well, I know I had posted the link to my Bagwell Site, where I have added a "Cameo" button linking to my Baggy "Cameo" cards. So here it is again.

I was scanning in some old Sportcasters and ran across this one. The ESPN commentator, Tom Jackson, with a famous former Heisman trophy winner, O.J. Simpson.

Do you remember which card was a "supposed" cameo by Bagwell, but some thought it was Luis Gonzales? Did we ever make a final ruling on that one?

I don't remember the card, but the consensus seemed to be Gonzo.

Behind Mantle and Mays are the Yankees' Elston Howard, the Dodgers' Johnny Roseboro and the Braves' Hank Aaron:

Here are all mine. This is from a list compiled by me and a couple other Sandberg collectors. As I stated previously, some of the early ones are iff, but I take the word of fellow collectors.

Hey TP, thanks for the cameo list. I used it to check Sportlots with, and low and behold you have 2 I need listed there. They are in my cart for now, and as soon as I earn some more paypal, I'll check out.

Always liked these two cards together, for many reasons, but the Smith card qualifies as a Harper cameo. Would love to have the Score auto'ed by both.

Hmmm... my post today just disappeared.

Impressive scans. There's a few I need to add to the list.

Seen this card a lot of times, but until I had the COMC zoom, never realized that is probably Gary Carter catching.

Hey TP, Thanks for the list of Cameos. It helped me when I jumped on Sportlots to search for them. And then bam! you were listed as having 2 of them. They are in my cart now, and as soon as I earn some dough selling off my Non Bagwells, I'll be picking them up!
