Is this a tee shirt?

Love the Dawson page

They come from a Canadian sport magazine called Sportmania. There are usually copies on ebay or other online locations, but figuring out which ones have the "cards" can be trick if the descriptions are poor. I think they were mostly early-mid 80s issues

Here is the one with the Rose sheet, for example.

I used to have the Blue Jays version of this shirt in the early 90's. It had Fred McGriff, Dave Stieb, and Mookie Wilson on it. Great stuff!

I love my jacket, got it from my Grandma in the early '90's, she got it on clearance in some thrift shop. I've never seen another one in person but have seen one on eBay and one featuring Mark Grace I think. I used to wear it to Giants games as 14 year old kid and everyone would tell me how cool the jacket was or how badly they wanted one. My goal as a kids was to have the jacket signed by Clark, I tried at evey game I went to, even after he was traded during interleague games, with no luck. I finally go it signed when Clark did a signing for the local AAA team of the Giants a few years back.

A picture from that event with my son William, named after Will Clark, and Clark sharing a high five:

I won this on eBay yesterday. It's not on my Bonds checklist which is pretty extensive including oddballs. I have all his phone cards for this product up to $100. I was unaware of a $200 issue. This issue is shaped like a standard card not a phone card and the picture looks like an artist's rendering. My guess is that it's some kind of unreleased prototype but the listing states 'This is not the sample card people are trying to sell but the real phone card.' Maybe [MENTION=2659]tpeichel[/MENTION] is familiar?

Yeah, I haven't seen that before.

Took advantage of a horrible title to win this auction. I'm pretty happy didn't have the Ripken and these just don't show up much.

What is the going rate on these now a days? The title didn't include TV on it. I remember these being somewhat tough to find.

They have softened a bit, but that is probably a good price. The oddball sellers probably buy them up at the lower prices and break them for single sales, so finding the set becomes more difficult. I think ebay has been over run with a lot of what was once tougher oddball singles though. Too many people buying sets and breaking then up now.

The All Star sets haven't been very pricy for years. The Yankees set seems to be the toughest to find, or most expensive when it appears. Thankfully, I managed to get the three cards I needed a couple of years ago for under $20 for all three.

Any interest in a Pinnacle header? Pictures Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken, Mike Piazza, Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez and Klesco for the baseball cards in a can.
