Amazing stuff, I especially love all the Frank Thomas stuff!



Thats a nice card that I have never seen before, wonder if there is a chrome version/refractor/Blue etc... of these cards?? Where did you get yours?

Only the base as far as I know, have never seen a promo version of this either. The guy I bought it from found it in a promo set along with a few others he thought were accidentally inserted in the set. He had a Posey also I would have loved to snag, but only had enough coin for the Danks at the time.

Has anyone seen these before? They are 1994 Finest. The fronts are the same as the regular cards but have the peel off protector film. I have 22 of these and got them several years ago from a large promo collection I purchased. I have no info on them and have not seen any others.

Thanks,

Wally

I've never seen those before Wally. I've collected Will Clark for years and have bought and sold rare promos as well, but have never seen those before. Do you have a player list available? Any stars amongst the 22? I'm hoping Clark isn't one of them but it would be interesting to know how they were released.

 

[CP_C]

I've never seen those either. Be interested in seeing a player list too...

 

[BunchOBull]

I'd really be interested in a Frank Thomas Finest Promo if you have one.

Somehow I haven't noticed this thread until now. While I'm going back to catch up, here are a few of my own.

1991 Action Packed

1993 Fleer Flair Promo (back)

1995 Action Packed Phone Card Promo

 

[clarkfan]

I have been trying to figure out more about those Action Packed promos. I only have 1, but I've heard there as many as 4 different ones. Would love to see pictures of them all. I don't have the one you pictured either. Mine has gold lettering on it. I am recently registered and trying to figure how to upload a few pics of my own.

 

[clarkfan]

This is my first attempt:

The top 3 are just the regular issued ones, the bottom 3 are the unreleased Series 2 promo cards. I have heard less than 5 sets exist per player. Reds were supposed to be 1 of 1, but I know of another collector who has one, so that can't be true.

I don't know anything about them at all. I won this on eBay a year ago or so, I think. Anyone else know anything?

Let's make this the Will Clark section of the thread...

1990 Donruss Aqueous

1990 Collect-a-Books Prototype

1989 Topps Heads Up Test

 

[clarkfan]

I like the idea of making it the Clark section of promos

Here is a few of my best:

1993 Donruss Signature FILE PROMO

1990 Sportsflics PROMO (no stats) umm, yeah, my pride & joy

1990 Donruss White & Blue variations (Kevin Hickey on reverse)

 

[ronfromfresno]

Impressive stuff guys, most of these promos I've never run across before, time to add to my list.

No, seriously. Who invited the show-off?

Wow.

Just wow.

Sorry I mean, I have to make an entrance right?? I have to gain credibility b/c I haven't ever been on the site establishing myself. Maybe I will put pics up of personal fav's or ones I feel are tough to find, not just the tough to find promos that everyone likes.

 

[ronfromfresno]

Post them all Nolan, it's probably the only way I'll ever get to see them. :lol:

To piggyback on Drew's earlier post here is the inside of the 1990 Collect-A-Book promo, I've seen one for Mattingly as well.

1990 Donruss White & Blue variations (Kevin Hickey on reverse)

Very cool, you have both variations. I have the Walker (he's on the blue side and Morison is on the white). Do you know if all players have bother variations?

 

[clarkfan]

As far as I know, every player has 1 blue & 1 white, but I am by no means an expert on the issue. Each player on the front has the exact same player on the back from what I've found. Like others have said before me, the chandyg guy on ebay is as close to an expert on the issue as I've found since he sold the majority of them.

By all means, scan and post 'em all! (Just be sure to put 'em in the Will Clark thread, too!)

 

[BunchOBull]

There is a thread on the PSA forums that explains which cards have and do not have both versions. If I remember correctly, in general, most cards have both versions, but not all do.

 

[SouthSideSluggers]

Does anyone know of a publication that lists all of the promos that are out there? Would this be listed in the yearly Beckett or SCD?? I have quite a few different promos and wanted to gauge their values when trading and selling....thanks and I will look for a few more to share
