This 1979 Diamond Greats baseball card set advertisement published in the February 1980 issue of The Trader Speaks offers a fascinating look into Jack Wallin's tribute to baseball's icons.

I ran across the following promo for the 1993 Yoo-Hoo Baseball Legends set in the Summer 1993 issue of Topps Magazine. Berra had a promotional relationship with Yoo-Hoo dating back to the '50s!

Leslie Hindman Auctioneers ran The Official 14th Annual National Sports Collectors Convention Auction on July 22 and 24, 1993. This 1948 Leaf boxing complete set on an uncut sheet was one of its standout items.

Here's the original artwork used for John Schweder's 1952 Bowman football rookie card. REA sold it for $1,800 in the fall of 2014, but its sales history goes back to Guernsey's Topps Auction in 1989 and the 13th Annual NSCC Auction in 1992.

This was the only known T216 Ty Cobb Standing Mino Cigarettes card in May 1992, as featured in the catalog of Richard Wolffers Auctions, Inc.

Kudos to Sports Card magazine and its readers in late 1993 for the "All Most Valuable Rookie Card Team," along with the Best Name, Not as Famous, and All Ears Teams.

In its Summer 1990 issue, Topps Magazine published Kenneth M. Liss's great article about "The Rarest 'Rookie Cards.'" PSA has only slabbed 252 cards from this 35-card (ok, 36-card) set!
