Giamatti is card 387 in the Topps 1990 set ( there are variations :)). Connie Mack appears in the Topps 1951 Connie Mack All Star set

Quite a few desk jockies in the Callahan set:rolleyes:
|
Much newer and a premium issue (they are auto'd), but there are GM cards from Topps one year. I was happy to be able to add Ned Coletti and Andrew Friedman to my collection. I think they were around 2012 or so.

Unless I missed it already being mentioned, the 1958 Topps #300 is a combo card showing both league presidents. On the modern side, Brian Cashman has appeared on several cards also.

I apologize for venturing off-topic, but I find the Frank Cashen card rather interesting. It is obviously not from the regular issue Topps set, and I can't find any information on it on either BaseballCardPedia.com or TradingCardDatabase.com. PSA designates it as #1, but I don't see any number on the card. There's one at PSA 7 for sale on eBay right now at $200. Does anyone have any information on this card? |
Dave Hornish, Topcat, in this thread may have more info. I think he told me about it. Could have been a special issue like the 84 Darryl Palmer, the 90 Bush card, or the Kunn card above, and the 70s and 90s business cards of Garagiola. All of those are in SCD, but post Lemke they don't list post 80 anymore
|
Maybe it was for a ceremony/Banquet/presentation? it mentions Sportsman of the Year. Maybe Topps made some for a dinner event or possibly just made some for him to hand out?

Yes the Cashen was produced for an awards dinner by Topps. http://toppsarchives.blogspot.com/se...Frank%20Cashen
