This particular card was issued in TCMA's second year (1973) and, judging by availability, was quite obviously produced in quite small quantities - perhaps only a few hundred sets. Reprint sets of 44 cards are very scarce; even single cards appear only occasionally. We were fortunate to acquire a set recently and are offering this card for collectors desiring an example of the set. Team collectors may also want to acquire a specimen or two. Card size is the modern standard (2-1/2" by 3-1/2"). The back features a view of New York's Polo Grounds. Copyright T.C.M.A. Ltd.

It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously granted this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist). _______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
