Its yours. Doesn't actually say Wrigley Field on it, but it's the best description I could think of.

That one confuses me as I have the Dave Winfield from the set. However, there seem to be duplicate series or something as I also have a Series 2 Card 5 with the black background, red diamond & stars design on front, but the exact same back. I know both sets are from 1988 as that's when I got mine. I just have no idea how the series are supposed to go together. Because there's a blue border set that looks like that (without Wrigley in the background and a different back), and the there's series three that looks exactly the same as that series 2.

1989 Rookies #7 is Randy Johnson

I won an auction for around 30 of them on ebay one day for $3.. I haven't seen too many others pop up since.

Series 2 I have:
George Brett #4
Schmidt #2
Strawberry #9

Series 3 has the exact same front as Series 2. I have:
Clemens #10
Bonilla #2

I have some Series 1 that have the identical backs as Series 2 and 3.

Bonilla #4 (black front with red stars)
Boggs #10 (white border w/thin red/blue pinstripe framing border)

 

[DaClyde]

Bonilla #4 (black front with red stars)
Boggs #10 (white border w/thin red/blue pinstripe framing border)

So there's a series 1 with the black & red design?

 

[mm1sub]

I have the SCD from 2008 but it is at home and I will not be able to look for any of this stuff until tomoorow evening. I will let you know if anything is listed.

Great idea by the way!

Somewhere in the place I call my sports room is an album of my Mattingly Broder types. I will dig them out if itr helps you ID some.

 

[tpeichel]

So there's a series 1 with the black & red design?

Each of the cards scanned below has a back with an identical format to the Schmidt I scanned in the previous post.

Bonilla and Boggs are Series 1
Brett is Series 2
Clemens is Series 3

You didn't want this to be easy, did you?

If you see any listing errors, let me know, myself and the other McGwire collectors had a tough time hashing these out.

onionring9 -great stuff

 

[tpeichel]

It lists less and less of that type of set every year as 5 billion new sets are released by the big two. My 2006 SCD does list the Baseball Card Magazine inserts, but not the Sports Card News or Ballstreet cards.

Looks like I need to find myself an older copy of the SCD since by 2006, they'd apparently ejected most of the unlicensed sets.
--update
Ok, bought myself a copy of the 2003 SCD on Half.com for about $5, so I should be able to knock out a lot of these checklists in a week or so.

Thanks for the help so far, everyone!

I need to find a 2003 copy as well. I wonder if SCD puts out their catalog on a DVD that would include everything they have, not just what will fit in a book.

 

[DaClyde]

Wow, thanks for the massive, detailed post, onionring9! That should keep me busy for awhile.

SCD has the yearly book available on CD! I just got mine a few weeks ago.

Does it have all of this unlicensed stuff? I looked on their site but I couldn't find the CD of the standard catalog.

No, nobody really has a checklist of it. A few of them get through and are listed on Beckett.

Here is the 2008 CD (1981 to current)

Thanks for the link. The 2003 catalog had the magazine inserts and a bunch of this unlicensed stuff, but the 2008 catalog does not. I was just curious if the CD has the same information as the 2008 catalog or if included the extra stuff from 2003 was was removed for the print version.

 

[DaClyde]

I'm guessing they probably use something like 10% of the capacity of the CD for their digital copy, you'd think they'd go with the Wikipedia mindset and realize that they aren't really confined by space limitations on the CD.
