The winner last night was : Tom (Angels in Order).
Now to the most recent arrivals. I received a surprise package from Mr. Kearney. I believe I have been the benefactor previously in years past. Along with the goodies which will be posted tonight and tomorrow for sure was a typed note starting out (after the address) with Love the blog. That always feels good. Mr. Kearney also inquired about the card show in Jax. I forwarded the info he requested and hope that one day he could attend. REcently I had received an email recently from what or who I thought was a fellow blogger named Billy, now I am second guessing that. Hopefully the reader will see these posts and know that I appreciated the gesture. He sent some great odd balls and you will see some of them tonight.
As you can see these are the 1978 TCMA The 60's along with the 1983 TCMA 42' reprint Stengel. Now, My Braves team sets already these cards however I still need to check the set build. Pretty sure this is a set I was working on, but I may have completed it too. I still have to check everything he sent from several different TCMA issues/releases. I plan on doing that this weekend. I love odd balls, especially when they are vintage. Thanks again Bill. More tomorrow.
Those are all beauties. TCMAs are the best.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about TCMA cards lately but didn't know a thing about them. Found this article... https://sportscollectorsdigest.com/collecting-101/michael-aronstein-tcma-cards
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tom! I never had very many TCMA cards in my collection. I think most of them I sold online. Simple, but very nice and some great information on the backs.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool! Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteLove those TCMAs. Have loved them since the late '70s.
ReplyDeleteThose TCMAs are great. If I remember correctly, they focused on past players who were still alive, for autograph hunters to have something to send.
ReplyDeleteI kind of love those hypothetical 1942 Playball cards.
ReplyDeleteHope you're able to solve the Billy mystery. Happy New Year John!
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteJohn I am glad you liked the cards and thanks for the info on the Jax show. I hope to get there on one of my winter trips. I will be looking at your Braves list as I go through my new card room organization this up coming year. Bill Kearney
ReplyDeleteThank you again Bill, more tonight.
