I've never seen the Kingman, does it show him as a Cub or Met?

I've been looking for the 1982 Ellis Valentine forever, never seen this one either.

He is listed as a Cub on the 1981 FBI disc even though he was traded to the Mets before the season started, I will put a scan of it up tonight.

I thought I had a better scan of the 1981 FBI Dave Kingman disc, but this was all I could find.

These are real tough, I think it took us a while to get a complete checklist at Beckett back in the day.

I've never even heard of these. What in heck does FBI stand for (no lame political jokes, please )?

You must not get around much FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation

Just kidding of course. In this case i believe it stands for Fanta Beverage Inc.

Thanks for posting this. I’m a Rollie Fingers collector and haven’t seen this before.
Are these blank-backed?

Always a tough pickup. My dad got the Winfield in 82 Then nothing until about 2010 picked up the Raines half and Steib full box for under $20 for the pair. Tough issue. glad it is finding some love.

Well crap. Another one added to the list of Nolan Ryan cards I need.

Somebody just appeared on the psa board with this scan!

Holy smokes! Those are the much rarer 1981 FBI discs and some of them are uncatalogued. The known ones are Bruce Bochte, Rick Bosetti, George Brett, Jim Clancy, Warren Cromartie, Andre Dawson, Steve Garvey, Larry Hisle, Reggie Jackson, Dave Kingman, Jim Palmer, Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, and Gary Templeton, and just now Ellis Valentine (thanks, mrmopar ). That means Bob Bailor, Bill Lee, Dave Parker, Larry Parrish, Steve Rogers, Elias Sosa, and Dave Winfield are new discoveries.

Thanks, I was afraid there was another near impossible card to add to my wantlist.

I've got a Schmidt box/panel that I'm really lucky to have picked up back in the day.
