DaClyde---that is a really neat idea. I have the set and the player, and a couple of beaters I had played to see what they were like but you can't play the cards without causing minor damage ( Got to keep them mint ), so this allows me to finally hear some of these. Thanks for the link.

I wonder what PSA would do with these Doug . I bet I have some 9s and 10s

Listening to them at work. I really like listening to them. Thank You for putting them up.

Nope. I can work and listen, the you tube page goes to the next one when the current one is finished. So I just had to put the first one on and do what I am doing.

I don't smoke so I use my breaks to skim the board. It all works out.

[DaClyde]

Glad to know someone is enjoying them. It will probably take me a week or two to get all I have posted, so keep checking back.

I was working in a card shop when these came out and the one of the Detroit news stations interviewed me for a story about these. They were hi-tech!

[Hullfan]

Would love to hear Willie Mcgee if you come across him.

[ALR-bishop]

Hullfan--ask DaClyde in a pm if has has a McGee and is willing/able to add him to his site. If he does not have one I will see if I have a dupe I can send him

[Robextend]

I had that!! From what I remember the device wasn't that expensive, but they got you with those card packs! Kind of like a printer and it's ink

[DaClyde]

I checked the packs I have and I do not have the card of Willie McGee. I did just learn that the recording on the back of my Johnny Bench card is actually the Rickey Henderson recording. Incidentally, Rickey's card also came in the same pack.

I've been tempted to run the audio through Audacity to lower the pitch and see if I could get them closer to the player's actual voices. For some reason, they all sound a bit higher pitched than I expected.

[DaClyde]

I've slowed down posting the videos a bit, but I've got 85 online now and will try to knock out another dozen by Sunday. I think the pitch issue is starting to lessen as the batteries start to run down.

[DaClyde]

I have finished posting videos for all the cards I have in my possession, which comes to 143 of 164. My card of Bruce Hurst won't play without skipping, so I'll need a replacement of that, as well as Ernie Banks, which also wouldn't play all the way through. So all told, I have to find the following cards to complete the set:

3 1986 A.L. Championship Game 5 Red Sox & Angels
4 1956 World Series Game 5 Yankees & Dodgers
9 Reggie Jackson
47 Will Clark
60 Jose Canseco
86 Ron Darling
88 Harold Baines
111 Bruce Hurst
