According to what I've read on the internet, the entire 250 card set was based on pen and ink prints by T.S. O'Connell. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he's the former editor of Sports Collectors Digest and the guy who took a lot of heat for the whole "Coach's Corner" debacle.
Getting back to the set... I've always wanted to add a few of these singles to my collection and thanks to COMC, I was able to grab a trio of players I collect for under two bucks:
They're not exactly highend cards. In fact, they're printed on thin, white, glossy stock paper and have nothing written on the back. But they're unique, cheap, and are definitely cool additions to my PC.
"... a little over the top.." he says.
ReplyDeleteHA!
lol... tried to be nice ;-)
DeleteI love flipping through the catalog and I've been on their mailing list forever. Fun fact I went to college in the town they are based out of. I always wondered how they managed to stay in business or who would pay what seems like an insane premium for their cards, glad I'm not alone. But I enjoy their catalog as much as REA's annual auction catalog.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a REA auction catalog, but I just went over to their site/blog and requested one. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteThis is the first I've heard of this catalog. Sounds like something I'd enjoy browsing through!
ReplyDeleteExcellent toilet bowl reading ;-)
