The "Cameo" Thread

[Hendersonfan]

I do have some cameo cards in my collection, but only if Rickey is plainly visible. I'm not against the "ghost" cameo, but wouldn't pay for them.

The cameos continue. Plenty of "ghost" cameos.

Nice on that Wade Miller , that's a cameo if there was ever a cameo.

Trying to figure out who are making cameos in the photos on the wall...

That's a cool one if you could make out your player.

Gonna need a really high resolution scan, and some time on your hands.

Just recently got this in a 1998 Pinnacle lot. Didnt know who was gonna be on it, but i added it just in case. I can make out a few players...

I believe that is Darryl Kile on the far left, is Barry Larkin the first one in red? And isnt Glavine 47 and Chipper 10? And is that McGwire in 15?

Nice catch!

Here's a couple of cards I found of Jody Reed..

Different manufactures, but looks like same game.. probably the same photographer took both..

If I was a Griffey collector, I'd be all over those! No ghost there...

I've had that one in my Grace collection. It's NL lineup from 1997 All-Star Game. He's seventh from left. It's one of my 4 "really tiny cameos."

Am I going to have to pick these up now?

 

[gracecollector]

And astroburn, I assume you know of the 1998 Pinnacle HR Derby participants card #198

Has: Walker, Thome, Martinez, Lankford, Jones, Griffey Jr., Garciaparra, Bagwell and Anderson.

I would say "yes." Ryno was in the lineup for first night game, and Cubs are in the field (home whites). 2nd card is from a 1993 game, Cubs are again in the field, and that's probably Ryno at second. Might need a magnifying glass to confirm. Definitely Grace - left handed white guy - at first.

I'm confident with the first one. What month do you think the 1993 game was? Ryno missed the first part of that season.

No clue there. Don't have it here in front of me. I'd look at the second baseman's posture and try to decide on what you've seen of Ryno. Who was Ryno's replacement that year?

EDIT: went to COMC to see if there was a larger scan of the card. Glad I did, forgot there was a Gold Rush version of the card and picked it up for a buck. Maybe this will help you - I think it's Ryno. Packed crowd, nice and sunny - probably a weekend summer game.

 

[ASTROBURN]

Yes. It's been on my radar for quite some time. Finally found a "finish your set" listing and picked it up. Well, four of em actually. Along with cards 199 and 200.

Tiny cameos... Is this the start of a fifth level of cameo collecting?

I just realized I have those cards since they are checklists. I'll take a closer look when i get home tonight.
