I think this is an insert from the 1984 TCMA Columbus Clippers set. Can anyone confirm? Thanks, Mike

Looks like it is a promo card from what I’m seeing and is listed as the last card in the set on here also.

That uni would look better combined with any of Mattingly’s facial/hair length looks through the years in the bigs. ;)

This is a fake, using the 1984 TCMA basic design. This card didn't surface until the late 1980s, when the unlicensed fad really hit.

Ah, interesting. Understand it's a fake, but where should it be listed? Is it appropriate to say it's an insert in the 84 set, or does it need to go in a different 88/89 set?

My understanding is that in general a fake would not be listed at all on this site. There certainly could be a few exceptions to that rule that I am not aware of.
