Heres frank signing & the card

Looks like an old TCMA card. I dig it!

Agreed. But it has to be all original, right? It can't be a bunch of different parts from different sets because, let's be honest, there's not much of a market for sets that aren't original and it would take months of it sitting on the shelves to sell....:rolleyes:


LOL!

I want it... but it'd be a tough sell. Not everyone walks in asking for an 1800's gambling kit.

Not to be a stickler but the original design was from 1960 Leaf baseball which I am sure is what BG was trying to emulate with the Frank Thomas card and NOT a TCMA or Renata Gallaso type design. (although those designes were taken from the 1960 Leaf look) It is one of the cleanest vintage looks and I applaud BG for bringing back this design.

The funny thing is when I read your post I agreed right away and then a light went off in my head regarding the '60 Leaf. I remember getting those Renata Galasso cards every year and send many of them away for TTM autographs which I still have. I had forgotten all about the '60 set and it has once again made me interested in possibly putting together a raw set as they are not all that expensive in the lesser grades. So thank YOU for making me look these up again! LOL

And by "metal" and "Valiant" technology, we're discussing Chrome, right?


I would rather talk about Chromium since that is what Comic Images called it when they released it before Topps in 1992.

They had one after they lost the mlb license and didn't do a damn thing with it.

That set didnt need a pa deal.
You are right, but Upper Deck has a lot it can do with a MLBPA deal since it also has the NCAA deal, unlike Panini that just has the MLBPA contract. I like what Upper Deck oes in football, and if they do similar thing in baseball with a mix of current and retired players I think they can make ome good products if it is on a limited basis.

A college baseball set would probably be pretty bad.
