I have compiled a checklist of T-206 insert sheets from the December 1982-Spring 1985 issues of Baseball Card Hobby Report.  It does not appear there were T-206 sheets printed in the Summer 1985 issue so I believe I have a full listing.  I organized the checklist alphabetically by player and grouped the cards together by magazine issue (40 cards alphabetically for the December 1982 issue followed by 40 cards for the March 1983 issue, etc.)  There are 360 cards total.  I can create the set and add the checklist, but thought I would pause for comments before I went ahead and added it.

The premier issue says there are 524 cards in the magazine set. Check out the link C2cigars posted which shows the premier issue cover.

I see the cover of the premier issue, but I also can't find anything to suggest the magazine was around long enough to get anywhere close to releasing all 524.  In fact, I think the summer 1985 issue was the last issue they published.

That makes sense. I was unable to find much info on the magazine online. 

I was just wondering if there was inserts in Dec-1982 then wouldn't there be 4 sets in 1983 , 4 more in 1984 , and a tenth set of 40 in the spring of 1985 and therefore that would mean 400 cards ?? Just curious.

That would make sense but the final issue in 1984 was for fall and winter combined, so they only issued three guides that year.

The format you suggested does not meet the sites guidelines.

The entire set should be in alphabetical order by last name. The issue information should go into Note2. Also the set's year(s) should be 1982-85. That bit of info has been left out of all the previous forum discussions. This is the first time anyone has mentioned that the set was released in the magazines over a 4 year period.

I hav e all these magazines somewhere with the cards inside, Just have to figure out where. I used to buy all kinds of cards from Renata Galasso in the late 70's and early 80's. Wonder what she's doing these days, and if living off proceeds from her card selling days.

Thanks for the explanation !
