Thanks Bob, you'll have to ask C2Cigars about that he has way more skills with lists than I do.

Has anyone heard of The Sporting News cards I have about a hundred of them, and cannot find them in the data base. All in black and white all older players. Any help would be great, barefoot108@outlook.com

Are you thinking of the Conlon Collection run from 1991-1995? They have the TSN banner on the backs. Look under those years and you'll find them listed. You can also use the card number filter under the player's page to locate certain cards.

Most of my memorabilia is just that. Just about every piece has a story behind it, a personal memory. Granted, my groundskeeping days helped me obtain such items, there are collectors and hobbyist out there who create and pursue these items with much more passion. A few signed 8 x 10 photos I have were given to me by a guy who would show up pregame warmups/ BP with a 35mm camera taking pictures of the players. He generally showed up for the 1st game of a series, go home and develop the film in his darkroom i.e. converted bathroom, and come back and give some to the players and get some signed for himself. Throughout the season, he would occasionally give me some signed photos but mostly field photos for my portfolio at the time. This was AA Southern League 1998. A few AU photos I have are Bruce Chen (who has great Greg Maddux stories) & Matt Anderson ( Go Tigers!). So yeah, I like the idea of a thread featuring members' memorabilia and their stories behind them. I would participate for sure.
