Card Identification Forum

I recently purchased two 8x10 photos of St. Louis Cardinals Ozzie Smith and Steve Carlton. The Ozzie Smith photo is the same as the 1989 TV Sports Mailbag: https://www.tcdb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/91709/91709-9693432Fr.jpg, with the exception that there is only a MLB Offical License (no MLB Players) logo and the license logo is white, not in color. The back is blank but has copyright and trademark info and ©1988 TV Sports Mailbag, Pleasantville, NY 10570 stamped in blue across the back. I was wondering if anyone else has any more of these, are they legit, and could they possibly be added to the database since 1989 and 1990 are listed?

There were some sample packs printed in 1988, but I was under the impression that only the Mets and Red Sox were done.  Can you show photos of what you have?

I've found several for sale on eBay featuring the White Sox, Mets, Dodgers, Yankees, Phillies, Reds, and the Brewers.

Here is a sample of what the back of mine looks like: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/m-AAAOSw0BJiI-Ze/s-l1600.webp

In this image you can see the logo in the bottom left hand corner: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/eeAAAOSw~ZRhCzG-/s-l1600.webp

When you went to a card show or card store back in the 1980s, you often found this kind of stamp on the back of the photo.  These were made for individual occasions on request and were not part of a structured set.
