That Bernie Williams Topps TV and McDonald's Olerud are pretty tough too.

Do you know how were those Topps TV cards distributed?

From what I've been able to dig up - the Topps TV Glossy sets were distributed (in limited supply it seems) to the team's local "viewing" area. Not every team is represented. Other teams include the Mets, Red Sox, Cardinals, Cubs and an All-Star set. (There might be another team or two - can't remember off the top of my head.)

Occasionally I see singles for sale on Ebay - but rarely see the Williams. One seller had the team set on sale - for a very reasonable price - so I picked one up. Mattingly, Winfield and Sanders are the other keys in the Yankee set. I wouldn't mind picking up the Todd Hundley (Mets) but really don't want to get the team set to do so.

Picked up this one for the rookie HOFer collection.

Slowed down collecting for a while and didn't even check the boards for several months. Got refreshed and started buying again around May. Here's some stuff that has come in since then.
