O/T Baseball Cards Magazine - 1985 - Bob Lemke

"Rookie Gamble: Our Experts Pick Winners"! That 1985 article would be entertaining to read in light of the current resurgence!

For a guy that only had one plate appearance with the team I collect I probably have more Connors than I need, but I'm always looking for more.

I loved Baseball Cards magazine and those fantasy cards they would include, like the 1983 Topps Don Mattingly.

I was also a huge fan of Tuff Stuff, particularly in its original oversized format.

Mr Connors once said of Branch Rickey, “ Mr Rickey had money and he had ball players but felt the two should not be commingled”

Absolutely loved that magazine

just seeing that cover brought back memories of 1985

Justin, that's a beautiful Chuck Connors collection. What is the card just below the Mothers Cookie? Also, have you ever seen the Lucky Fan premium?

Thanks Paul! That card is a 1949-50 Ansco (Cuban). I've seen the Lucky Fan but I don't have any. I'm a weirdo in that for my primary collection I try to only get images of players when they were with Brooklyn, the exception being minor leagues and foreign issues. Andy's pinback is pretty high on my wantlist.
