Conlon Baseball Cards

[Zach Wheat]

I collected this set when it was first issued and thought it was one of the neatest sets. I loved all the detail in the cards and the not frequently seen images. It quickly became my favorite set to flip though and read.

Did not know the info in this thread. Thanks Al-R

I picked up a pack of Conlon cards when they first came out, at a convince store near my house. I pulled a Shanty Hogan card. I've never heard of him before. I started a collection of vintage cards of Shanty Hogan cards that I could afford. Then I started collecting other players in any sport, who's first or last name was Hogan. I used to ask my wife before hand if I could spend our money on any card over $200.00 or more. She always said yes. She said because it makes me happy. God she was an amazing woman.

Add me to the liking them list. I picked up a big lot of them from a fellow member a few years ago.

To get 4 of the Conlon promo cards I had to buy 4 copies of the 1992 All Star Game Program ( San Diego) because 4 different Conlons were pop up inserts in them.

I love the Conlon cards. Great photos and many have excellent statistical summaries on the back.

I have graded about 20 of them for my set registry HOF set. I know their value is perhaps less than the cost of grading, but I love the cards, and life is too short.

Also the 1994 American Archives set. Same reasons.
