Wow, haven't seen anyone on this board that collects Don Zimmer besides me. I can help you find a lot of those items if you want. Most aren't that hard. They're all pictured on my website Collecting Zim: A Don Zimmer Fansite, except the 1961 Cubs Team Issue, which I don't think really exists. Beckett's listing says it's checklist is based on an ad in a magazine for the set, but I've never seen it.


Thanks Brad, I will take a look. I just restarted my Zim collection after a 3-4 year hiatus.

For some reason I really can't explain I am obsessed with 1990 Topps. Finding the Frank Thomas Error via unopened packs is my white whale, and no politics involved but 1990 topps set based, the George Bush. It's not like finding the Thomas error is that hard, but finding it reasonably priced is the thing, been meaning to post on here things I'd be willing to trade for it, perhaps I will sometime.
 
In order by year (through 1992 for now):

1988 Tucson Toros Jones Photo #2
1989 Astros Smokey #6
1990 Astros Lennox HSE #4
1990 M.V.P. Pins #39
1990 Topps All-Star Blackless Error #404A
1991 Astros Mother's #5
1991 Panini French Stickers #6
1991 7-11 Coins #T1
1992 Donruss Cracker Jack II #1
1992 High 5 #37
1992 Hit The Books Bookmarks #4
1992 Panini Stickers French #151
1992 Starting Line Up Baseball First Production #5

I am sure some are easy to find, but I dont have Paypal, which means I cant buy on Ebay or on Beckett Marketplace....

Does anyone know why these Baseball Star Buttons are so tough to find these days? Back when they were issued, I used to see them a lot at shops, shows and flea markets, but now what you see mostly are the 1984 Topps Fun Foods pins. There should be tons of the Baseball Star Buttons boxes stashed away somewhere waiting to be dumped for pennies on eBay, but they so rarely surface. Took me years to track down the Winfields I needed. They were never popular but, when issued, they were fairly easy to find.
