hi everyone,
was going through my collection and found these and started to research them cuz i couldnt find them in tcdb. so this is what i found. made by Tara Toy Corp. in 1989 and only for one year that i can find. size is 7-1/8 x 7-1/2 cardboard plaque. there is 48 players in this set which is called 1989 Tara Toy Corp. Playball Superstar Collectible Plaques and that info is from the back of the original packaging from what i researched on ebay, mercari, and etsy auctions and broke down into National League West(NLW), American League West(ALW), National League East(NLE), American League East(ALE) players with #NNO and blank black backs. players are as follows in alphabetical order
Harold Baines-ALW, Steve Bedrosian-NLE, George Bell-ALE, Wade Boggs-ALE, Bobby Bonilla-NLE, George Brett-ALW, Jose Canseco-ALW, Will Clark-NLW, Roger Clemens-ALE, Vince Coleman-NLE, Eric Davis-NLW, Andre Dawson-NLE, Dennis Erkersley-ALW, Carlton Fisk-ALW, Kirk Gibson-NLW, Dwight Gooden-NLE, Mike Greenwell-ALE, Tony Gwynn-NLW, Ricky Henderson-ALE, Keith Hernandez-NLE, Orel Hershiser-NLW, Pete Incaviglia-ALW, Wally Joyner-ALW, Mark Langston-ALW, Candy Maldonado-NLW, Don Mattingly-ALE, Mark McGwire-ALW, Paul Molitor-ALE, Jack Morris-ALE, Dale Murphy-NLW, Kirby Puckett-ALW, Tim Raines-NLE, Cal Ripken Jr.-ALE, Nolan Ryan-NLW, Chris Sabo-NLW, Ryne Sandberg-NLE, Benito Santiago-NLW, Mike Schmidt-NLE, Mike Scott-NLW, Kevin Seitzer-ALW, Ozzie Smith-NLE, Cory Snyder-ALE, Darryl Strawberry-NLE, Alan Trammell-ALE, Fernando Valenzuela-NLW, Andy Van Slyke-NLE, Frank Viola-ALW, Dave Winfield-ALE
OK, now here is the weird part. after all the auctions i referenced for info on these things i came across 9 more players that were not part of the checklist of the above set but had the same packaging and design as the above set. i thought maybe different year but like i stated earlier im pretty sure these were only made for one year. well anyways the players are Ron Guidry, Dave Righetti, Bo Diaz, Willie Randolph, Kevin McReynolds, Juan Samuel, Ron Darling, Jeff Treadway, and Danny Jackson.
It would be great if u guys could enter this set into tcdb but if u cant please keep thread for others for informative purposes and feel free to add any info that i missed.
