    Don’t know anything about the star liner stickers but I like them. Nice find. How do you know it is from 1983? Would have guessed it was from about ‘67 based on Colavito being an Indian and Palmer being included.

    All of the eBay listings that I found, after acquiring them, list them as 1983, including the label on one SGC Mantle. I had never seen these particular photos before, but in a post above, @LarkinCollector (Thank you for the reply) says they are reprints of 1967 Dexter Press.

    Anyone have info on distribution, etc?

    I would have to guess they're a homemade product, Starliner by MACTAC is a generic blank sticker that print shops can print anything on: https://www.thepapermillstore.com/paper-mills/mactac/starliner

    This will do until I can get my hands on a 9!

    They’re a high end reprint set of the 1966-67 Dexter Press (aka Coca Cola) Premiums.

    They’re very pretty portraits to look at and the set chock full of stars.

    Curious about the rare, mysterious and beautiful 1951 Wheaties Premium Photos?

    Interesting. I’ve seen them with different backs too, but those could just be similar paper/sticker products.

    I haven't been able to piece together the complete text of a Touchdown back to verify. For some reason they're still called Starliners.

    Yes, I bought them specifically for the eye pleasing photos. My "investment" is minimal, especially compared to the cost of ripping a modern blaster box. I really dig them, even if they're not worth anything.

    Legend has it that these ‘photo cards’ were basically produced very cheaply because of theft. You see, people who stayed at the Holiday Inn in Joplin often took souvenirs. Basically, it started with soaps and matchbooks but soon people were basically taking everything that wasn’t nailed down. The idea became to offer each guest a ‘complimentary souvenir’ for their stay and it allegedly worked and the large scale theft subsided. The point is that due to their mass production and their keepsake status they are not too tough to find though they’re very sensitive and take indentations, bends, tears, nicks and scratches easily. This one has basically all those issues but there’s something about it that made me pounce.

    This one is purchased from the OP, Jeff, who I recommend highly as a seller. Thanks, Jeff!

    My focus this year is going to be to acquire several HOFers and players I like from products issued in 1999-present in PSA 9 or 10.

    Took full advantage of the 10% Ebay Bucks offers in December since sales tax on Ebay started in my state 1/1.

    I am working on the '61 and '68 HOF sets in addition to a Banks run. A much more focused group of cards than usual - as I tend to buy cards I like that are not towards anything I am focusing on. Over the halfway point on each HOF set and down to 7 more Banks cards (but one is the rookie and will have to save up for a while on that one).

    Nice 8.5's. Big fan of getting 8.5's myself

    Me too - it is my favorite grade to purchase. Probably about half my graded cards are either PSA 8.5 or SGC 92.

    I know this won't get much love from the masses, but @ReggieCleveland will likely find it to be the most beautiful thing he's seen today. It's an 18 box 1990 Donruss wax case with floor stand display.

    I had been holding out for some time for a 1990 cello case with the floor stand display, but the last one I saw of those was almost 2 years ago, so finally just gave in and went with the wax.

    Thats awesome!

    I loved 90 Donruss back in the day. It was available most everywhere. Great memories.

    Here are a couple pick ups. Love the Trout image and even though it's not part of the 2016 run, I still thought it was cool. The T218 adds another to the set that I'm slowly picking up. Also, me and my boys opened four boxes of 2019 Tops Museum, and it was not only a lot of fun, but the artwork is amazing!
