    The last one is prolly a 90's issue now that I look at it; collector's choice is an early 90's issue as I recall.

    First one is 1987 Action All Stars like it says on the back. The second was an insert for the Upper Deck drawing. Came in packs of Collectors Choice. I just can't remember what year. Check the entry deadline and that will tell you the year.

    That last one looks a lot like a TCMA card...but I don't know what it is.

    The first is a 1989 MSA Cereal Superstars card issued by Ralston Purina.

    The second is a "Crash the Deck" game insert from 1994. This is similar to the Crash the Game inserts included in Hockey and Football products from the same year.

    The third one a Broder (unlicensed issue) perhaps???

    The fourth is a Topps Bazooka is from 1988.

    The last is a 1987 Classic Yellow (Green Back).

    They're actually catalogued as "Team vs. Team."

    Looking at that third card again...it's an MSA card...same folks who did all the bread and popcorn issue "disc" cards.

    I believe your scans are out of order. The first card is actually a 1989 Cereal Superstars and it's back is currently shown with the third card.

    That makes a lot more sense.

    the classic yellow is from the 87 or 88 classic board game set- i remember the 1st ones out were green, not sure about yellow
  • Options
    Yeah, the scans were out of order, fixed. Thats what I get for scanning three at a time.

    THANKS a ton for the help.

    Looking to sub a few oddballs for the $5 Jan. special and was unsure as I don't think these show up in the pop reports.....

    Card #5 is a 1987 Classic Update Yellow.

    Yep! That's a 1988 Bazooka.

    Card #3 is just an oddball issue called 1987 Action Allstars. It comes from a 25 card set and beckett.com doesn't list is. It's not to be confused with the 1987 Donruss Action Allstars.

    So...no listing, no grading.

    Thanks.

    btw..I saw you didn't add the Smokey' Team Gantner to your master set. I'll keep an eye out for another if you need a better one for grading. My Puckett from that set needs an upgrade and I only find that issue raw.

    It's in my "to be submitted" pile. I have to renew my membership and then I've got a stack of oversized cards to send in. Thanks again for that card!

    Thanks for the help tonight.


    FYI Do not submit that card if you have not already. PSA told me I cut them too well and that the sheets need to be scored and torn rathen than cut across the lines. I was told they would likey come back Ev of trim when cut like these are. I have to get a new one for my set also. I'm looking at a few sets over the next month so I'll send ya a good one for grading.

    Thanks for the heads up! I'll leave it in my raw collection, then. I appreciate the info.

    #5 - is 1987 Classic Yellow Update. There were some sets that had error variation of green backs. I think about 25% of the set came out like that. I remember buying up sets for $5 just to see if I can get them and because the key cards at the time were Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds.
