There seems to be some interest in TCMA sets the last few days. Just a point of information- if you see a MLB logo on the card, or find that the card is significantly different from the rest of the set, these cards are NOT part of the original set. They were issued in "Card Collecting Kits" to be sold at toy stores in the mid- to late-1980s.
I have a friend who is working on a master list of those cards, but as such, they should NOT be included with the original sets.

Dave, great information. We keep getting lots of IRs in asking for "variations" to be added. Are you familiar enough with these sets to help us out with those? If so, drop me a PM and we can discuss how you can be a HUGE help to us! Thanks!

I will see if I can gather a list of the "Kit Cards" in the next few days.

I'd be interested in knowing that info as well as it might pertain to my Uncle's cards that I might not have. Recently discovered this set came in 3 variations. This is the one card I've not been able to locate. https://www.tcdb.com/ViewCard.cfm/sid/209763/cid/13410227/1974-TCMA-1952-Brooklyn-Dodgers---Blue/White-Black-Names-NNO-Jim-Hughes Also I'd like to know if variations of this card exist as well? 1979 TCMA 50's #268 Jim Hughes. Thanks. Joe

Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox.

I don't think any cards older than 1978 were reprinted.

If you had to come up with a year to represent when the reprints were printed, would it be 1987?

Is that when the kits first were released?
