Legendary oddball

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.

From the write up on the back, it would be reasonable to expect Tony to have won the batting title in 1991. He didn't. He won his fifth batting title in 1993. Although 1991 was a pivotal year as he met Ted Williams and switched to a heavier bat after talking to his personal batting hero. 

Total: 1034 cards
