Posted By: <b>Howie C</b><p>It looks like a 1974 TCMA. Correct spelling of Dukes name is Snider.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>TCMA = Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein.<br><br><br>I believe these guys were avid baseball card collectors. They wanted to print their own cards of ballplayers of years past, they formed The Card Memorabilia Associates, Ltd., I think. <br><br>What I've heard is that they would go to card shows every weekend, they loved cards. Upon returning from a weekend card trip, one of them came home not to his wife, but to a home his wife had left... and she'd taken scissors to each of his prized old cards, cutting each one neatly in half. The end of a marriage, and of a good card collection. Anyone else ever hear any of this??
