An oddball treat today - a card that doesn't appear on Baseballcardpedia. These cards were apparently issued with a magazine called Legends Sporting Memorabilia, supplied in uncut sheets of 9 cards inserted in the magazine. Stars from several different sports were represented. (Info source)
Card Number 1034: Legends Sporting Memorabilia, 1991; #53
Even in the free-for-all frontierland that was the peak junk wax era in 1991, I'm surprised a magazine would produce cards without any kind of licensing. As a media outlet they could well have owned the rights to the photograph, but the copyright claim on the back is unusual even among oddball cards.
Total: 1034 cards
I really like the cards that Legends Sport Memorabilia came out with over the year. Not only did they release standard size cards, but post cards as well. I can't tell which variation you have here, but there is a silver bordered and a gold bordered one.
ReplyDeleteIt's the silver border
DeleteI love the Legends magazines. They had really cool post cards too. Gwynn was featured on one of the covers... and even signed a limited number of those magazines. Last time I checked it was a really affordable way of adding his signature to your collection. I think they sell in the $25 to $35 range.
