Friday, September 4, 2020Year: 1993 Set: Conlon Collection TSN (Rate) “ After nearly 30 years, I still don't really know what to say about the Conlon cards. The design is clean but unimpressive. But I love the B&W photos of players who died long before the set was even made. The backs may seem plain, but they have every single bit of info you could wish for on the back of a baseball card! ” -spazmatastic
“ Love the Conlon Collection. ” -kirkscards
“ Ray ran out of hydration making spitballs with the spitballers so he Caldwell to ask them to fetch a few buckets of water. ” -ganondorf666
“ I personally like this design. ” -BasketbalHQ
“ I like this card especially the full stats on the back. ” -Brendan Barrick
“ Conlon photography is awesome. I really love the original Conlon cards because they featured the photographs only. I wish these had smaller borders and text so the photography would really shine. ” -bpaul14
“ Very basic card. Nice picture. Spitballer! ” -cjjt
“ Somewhat of a coincidence that this card is opening for comments a few days after the anniversary of his getting struck by lightning and completing the game. These cards are very meh and is in desperate need of some color. ” -IfbBirdsCards
“ This is the one crazy-large set that I really like and wouldn't mind working to collect. I love the vintage photos of players whom I have never heard of, like this guy. Now the stats from 1910 mean nothing to me relative to my 1967-2020+(?) lifetime. But this dude got struck by lightning on the mound? How have I not heard that story?!?! ” -kents_stuff
“ Always felt like these sets were duds as a kid but I have a far greater appreciation for them as an adult. Design is still godawful, but the photography and facts can be great. Love the scoreboard peeking over the fence. And how often will you see a set dedicated to spitballers? ” -crimnos2
“ Conlon Collection Is among my favorite sets ever. And we got a spit baller too. I guess "juicing" wasn't a new concept in the 1960s. ” -switzr1
“ This son of a gun completed 31 of the 36 games he started in 1915. And he had a sub-3 ERA. Today if a pitcher goes 6 innings and gives up 3 runs we call it a "gem." ” -mkaz80
“ A little bland unless it is cooler in hand. ” -muskie027
“ Not a bad card if you are a fan of this type of set. ” -Phil
