I received another solid bubble mailer from JT Steele the other day, with a bunch more Blue Jays goodness, including these two Robbie Alomar cards:
Now when I quickly breezed through the envelope the other day, I originally thought that the same card was in the package twice. Now, I probably have a few copies of the base Fleer '92 you see on the right, but I'm 100% positive that I've never seen or heard about the card on the left.
When I looked at the card closer, I noticed on the bottom "The Performer Collection", and the back the card is #'d 24 of 24. I don't think that this was an insert in that years set, so I'm wondering if anyone out there can provide a bit of info on the card? Comments are more than welcome....
thanks for reading, Robert
According to the Standard Catalog, The Performer Collection was a 7-11 promotion where customers received a pack of 5 cards with a gasoline purchase.
ReplyDeleteIt was a collection from 1992, at Citgo stations.. I have probably a dozen or more of each player.. not entirely uncommon, but a lesser known for player and/or team collectors.. i still have a few more Jays for you i will send your way in time.. Hope they help your collection
ReplyDeleteHuh, I thought I'd already voted here, but I guess not. I must have commented in my mind. Went something like this: "174926 Bonus points for posting that Larry Hisle card, one of my all-time favorites. My vote is for '72. Obviously both great sets, but the psychedelic tombstones are unbeatable."
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, this isn't the voting post, is it? That might explain it...
