Gentlemen, TCMA is looking to enlist your help!
What the collecting world may or may not be aware of is that TCMA Ltd. still exists, though due to licensing restrictions we haven't produced anything using the TCMA Ltd. name for a long, long time.
Between the late 90's and mid 2000's we were the driving force behind a Photo File product that was sold through many US Postal Service locations aross the country. These were 12x16 matted pieces with an 8x10 photo and commemorative event cover (envelope) underneath. Eventually, Photo File absorbed that business, basically leaving us with only one product - the 8x10 Hall of Fame Induction Day Cards that have been done since 1984 and sold almost exclusively to vendors in Cooperstown for Hall of Fame Weekend.
As with the 12x16 USPS pieces, Photo File has the licensing so the TCMA Ltd. name cannot be used. I assure you, however, that these items were/are the brainchild of my father, Mike Aronstein, who continues to have a working relationship with Photo File. As you might be aware, Photo File evolved directly out of TCMA and still posesses the original glass negatives that were used to create many of TCMA's baseball cards, postcards, and other items.
I'd like to let you guys know that we are in the process of developing some new products in conjunction with Photo File, one of which will tie directly into TCMA's "The 1930's" set. I can't say too much about it just yet other than I have seen samples and they look FANTASTIC.
Now, I'd like to ask everyone (barring a standard baseball card size item) what types of products would you most like to see us explore? What subjects/products does everyone find most interesting/collectible? Would love to get some opinions on what you, as a collector would like to see.
Thanks in advance for the input everyone. Happy collecting
