This discussion got me curious as to what Renata Galasso actually was so I did a little research. I have not been able to read the whole page but how this woman got started is truely astounding!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renata_Galasso
They were more like a mail order place.........I think I found them in Baseball Digest, actually.......I'd read that cover to cover each month......They just sold complete sets as far as I could tell.......
It was one of those "hot box"......box.....every card was a silly 1/1....not a fan of the term hot box.....also case hit and color match can go away....I believe I'm officially a grumpy old man!
Made up language has always made me want to puke.........
My favorite is the 'eBay 1/1'
Description by beckett.......
"This 270-card standard-size set was issued by Renata Galasso Inc. (a hobby card dealer) and originally offered as a free bonus when ordering hand-collated Topps sets. The set may be subdivided into six series with 45 cards per series, with one series being issued per year as follows: TCMA printed the first four series and Renata Galasso Inc. the last two. The fronts display black and white player photos bordered in white. The player's name, position and team for which he played appear in the bottom white border. The backs are white, printed in red and blue ink and carry a career summary and an advertisement for Renata Galasso Inc. The backs have a red baseball in each of the upper corners with the card number in the left one."

Along with Charley Taylor, Kerry Wood is also from my hometown of Grand Prairie, Texas!! A few years ahead of me in school but he was already a legend in GP...

I was going to mention that to you when you were trading for Charley Taylor cards a few months ago. When he hit the bigs, the hype around him was tremendous but I think injuries derailed what so many thought was a sure shot HOF career.
Kerry Wood is a prime ecample of why it is not advisable to invest heavily in young pitching prospects cards. So many of these guys fall by the wayside most of the time due to arm injuries. Stephen Strasburg, Jacob DeGrom, Johan Santana and on and on, all had careers cut short or seriously interrupted due to injury. For all of you collectors chasing Paul Skenes cards, I'd proceed with caution because the track record of these guys having a long, HOF careers is not good..
So many fantasy football championships with him leading the way!!!
You definitely have to play the long game when collecting baseball cards, or so I would think as I dont really collect baseball other than Tris Speaker...
