Welcome aboard! I remember your dad so well from those 1970s shows at the Union Center in Greenwich Village.

Always great to see hobby pioneers speak in the first person.

Welcome to the board. The TCMA minor league cards have really bailed me out of over the years in my Indians streak, letting me get players that otherwise wouldn't exist.

The Japanese set was especially helpful as you just so happened to print it in 1979, the one year little used Red Sox and Indians LOOGY Rick Kreuger pitched in Japan which created his one and only card

Doing those cards was fun and we were growing, that era was an exciting time for TCMA. We wanted to do more Japanese sets but unfortunately, it didn't work out.

Doing cards of obscure players, guys who played in one game, etc. was part of the fun for us

. My favorite was Manuel Onis from "The 1930's" set, who was 1 for 1 in his major league career.

Rick Kreuger actually has at least three cards. However the other two, a team issue from Pawtucket in 1977 and a Japanese baseball game card from Takara in 1979, are likely a lot more difficult to track down.
