1985 MSA Thom McAn JOX discs - please educate me - FINALLY FOUND MY ANSWER!!

[David W]

Well, I cannot confirm Valenzuela, but right now on ebay there are
20 Thom McCann discs with at least 3 colors, maybe 4

Pink, green, yellow (maybe red, or it might be pink, I did not take time to check each listing well)

There are 2 different Cecil Coopers, one green and one pink (or red), so it seems possible that Valenzuela could have several colors, but I really do not know for sure

There are also many graded by PSA so perhaps the Pop report could give you some information.

Here is the ebay link

Columbia City Collectibles has a complete set for sale. You could try asking them what color the Valenzuela is in their set. http://www.columbiacitycollectibles....85-1989_1.html

Consequently, they are a great source of oddball cards/collectibles. They helped me finish my 1949 Eureka Stamps Cincinnati Reds team set a while back.

yeah, Columbia City Collectibles has been a great resource for me in the past as well...just wish they didn't gouge on their prices so much or I'd buy more from them. The set they are selling is a 47-disc set so it doesn't include more than one variation of any player but I will ask them if the Valenzuela is the non-yellow variation. If it is maybe they'll sell it to me if I send them a different one. If they don't there's no way I'm shelling out $500 for the set, that's ridiculous!

You're absolutely right about their prices. I use them as a last resort because I can almost always find the same item cheaper elsewhere.

Best of luck in your quest!

Thank you, friendly bump.

Here are some color variations I've found of other players in the set. While there is at least six different colors, the most any one player has is TWO and as seen in the pic there's no consistency on what those two colors are. Still trying to figure out if F. Valenzuela has two colors, I've only seen the yellow one...if he does, odds are the other one is blue...any help is appreciated.

Turns out another variation does exist, and I was right in assuming it is blue. It's on its way to my collection now!

Yeah, I just checked the psa pop report and no valenzuela discs have been submitted yet. Suprisingly, no other variations have ever been submitted either. It was a great idea but yet another dead end.
