Card Identification Forum

Can somebody provide help to let me know where this series of cards can be found in the database?

Much apperciated.

1977-84 Galasso Glossy Greats.     I found it by looking up the player's name under Baseball, then searching on the year.

I used to buy my sets through that company in late 70s and early 80s. Whatever happened to that company?

I also used to buy from them. Actually Renata Galasso was the owner operator, and I think they just slowly faded out of business. I saw a name on this site of Galasso and asked if any connection but never heard back.

Ditto randylaw's comment and question. I saved whatever I could as a kid to buy the Topps baseball set and these Galasso Glossy Great sets.  Really enjoyed learning about those players from way back when.  The only google results I could find with more info on the Galasso store is at this link ( http://fleersticker.blogspot.com/2007/12/larry-fritsch-and-renata-galasso.html ), but it doesn't really answer the "whatever happened to..." question very well.

I remember seeing the Galasso name as part of the user-id for one or more members on this site.  I'm not sure if it was just chosen as a tribute or if it's an unrelated coincidence or whatever. But as the blog article I linked above (and related comments) mentions, a lot of us in the hobby owe her some thanks for some happiness in our youth. So certainly hope everything turned out well for her and her family, and any insight that can be shared with the site members would be appreciated.
