Card Identification Forum

I have the team set of 1992 Procards Columbus Redstixx without AD's on the backs. The team set in the main checklist has AD's on the backs. I would say the AD back cards should moved to there own set as an SGA set. See photos.

Either SGA or as a team set sold at the stadium. Not necessarily giveaway. Would need to prove it to just call it SGA, as I know back then many minor league stadiums sold their team sets.

Totally agree. Giveaways cost money. That's why minor league sets have sponsors, to cover the costs. Without ads it's very unlikely it was a giveaway.

So we have established that they are not necessarily SGA sets. Can they be added as a team set with the specific AD that is on the card and move the images that are currently in the main set? I have 15 team sets without ADs that are in the main set that have ADs. I can add the checklists for them

Just did a quick scan of eBay and Comc, compared to what's on TCDB, and I think we're are going to find that a lot of teams if not all teams have a Sponsored version and a Non-Sponsored version.  Factory sealed sets are packages in a way that makes it difficult to tell which is which, because the sponsor logo in on the reverse.  

A cursory scan of COMC reveals ad-backs, and plain versions for:

Erie Sailors (WSEE TV)

Indianapolis Indians (Pepsi, Hook's Drugs, Pepsi/Hook's Drugs, there look to be three versions, I didn't see any without at least one sponsor logo)

Myrtle Beach Hurricanes (Baseball Diamond, card shop?)

Niagara Falls Rapids (Traffic Safety)

Oklahoma 89ers (NutraSweet or Homeland)

Peninsula Pilots (The Tenth Inning)

Reading Phillies (various safety/educational messages)

South Bend White Sox (Hook's Drugs)

  Cedar Rapids Reds has both variations Retail and Sponsored.  Note McDonalds logo on lower left of reverse on second card.
