Had you posted a picture of Biggios card, Nicks head would have exploded.

Would have been a great Halloween costume

Thankfully this is the only one I needed, and it's pretty common:

Why cant anyone find the Astros set, but can find every other damn card????

I remember having a McGwire (possibly featuring him in his USC uni) as a kid. I'm sure Joe or one of the others will share. That was one of my favorite cards growing up

I hear you man, this always was one of my fav's too!

Still need the Biggio...or any lead to any of the Astros

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Anymore news on these esp. the Biggio?

Maybe the Astros set doesn't actually exist. I don't believe the 92 Dodger set exists myself, so it is not beyond possibility that this one never got made either. The Dodgers had several Smokey sets in the late 80s, and a variety of other regional sets in the 80s/90s (Police, Mothers, Keebler, Coke, etc) yet somehow the 92 Smokey set is so rare that not even a single picture or confirmed sighting appears. Not likely if the set existed.

Just found this on Astroland:

5. 1989 Smokey Bear Astros Team Set Very very rare. Once wrote to a Smokey expert, and he'd never heard of it. After 20 years of searching, bought a lot of seven (of 40) on eBay in early 2010.

It exists but it must be extremely rare, PSA only has one in its population report. It was graded an 8

Neat cards. Does anyone know if a Ripken exists?

1988 Twins Fire Safety. They are called Color-Gram--meant to be a post card that a child could color in and send to someone. It is perforated apart from the color card, like the Kirby Puckett one someone had earlier. Wish I could find the other Gaetti half.



And I'll see DaClyde's David Winfield with my own Gaetti from the 1991 Angels set.
