Cannot find this card in the database. Should I add it as an Insert or Promo ?

I think you make an IR and and someone with L8 permission can add the name to the checklist. After they do that then you can submit scans. ------------------------------- Minor League Collector, Collecting cards featuring players in Cedar Rapids uniforms or Logos, all sports, from past and present.

It is pretty common in the minor league sets to have a late addition to the team set as a no number.

This is not a late addition, this is a promo for an EVP and co-owner of a broadcasting outfit. Promo.

I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned off (details are in my profile). I have (finally) unearthed my 2 very large boxes of Star Company minor league sets and they are available (email for details).

It's a bit unfortunate that "Shameless Promo" isn't an option on this site. This would certainly qualify as one!

Did a little digging. Joe Eick was signed by the team after some scouts saw him hit a couple of home runs at a local celebrity softball game. Not sure how long he was actually with the team, but he got at least one plate appearance and drew a walk. I'm trying to find a box score. So this might have actually been part of the Visalia team set, but it definitely wasn't in the pack-issued set.

There's no page for him at baseballreference.com. I doubt a 38 year old evp was much of a prospect. If he did appear in a game, it probably was an exhibition. ------------------------------- A man has to have goals — for a day, for a lifetime — and that was mine, to have people say, "There goes Ted Williams, the greatest hitter who ever lived."

Definitely a Show-worthy 'stache, though
