I just acquired a collection with these:

They are a little taller and a little narrower than a standard baseball card. The backs are printed in red and look like this:

My trusty old Standard Catalog reports that the red backed TCMA sets were with blue and white fronts and were strip cards, and the black fronts are blank backs. These don't seem to match any criteria: they are black and white fronts with red backs and look machine cut.

I think the cards you have are 1973 - 1979 TCMA ALL-TIME GREATS

Do a search on TCMA on this board

There have been past discussions on TCMA cards

That's the general description; I am hoping for more information to pin down exact years, etc.

Hello,
I'm trying to get some information. I have come across 3 strips of cards (trying to figure out how to get pictures) The top has a price marked 15c
The first strip is Ty Cobb, Wilbert Robinson, Jackie Robinson, Mickey Mantle, zack Wheat, and Bucky Harris.
The second ne is Babe Ruth, John McGraw, Ross Young, Jim Bottomley, Tris Speaker, and Burleigh Grimes.
The third is Babe Ruth, Fred Clarke, Whitey Ford, Sam Rice, Hugh Duffy, and Sandy Koufax

The bottom of the last card says 1975 TCMA lmt.
They are in overall excellent condition.

I am trying to find information on these, what they are worth, How could I go about selling them.
Please help me with any information Thank you
Paul
