Great to have you here!

I learn new stuff all the time, and a couple weeks ago I learned something related.
Went to a stamp show and looked through a big collection of baseball covers. And came across one from TCMA. I never knew you did covers too.

I've got a few cards, and like the sets. I especially like the large set with the puzzle back. As time goes by I come to appreciate them more than when they were new.

Good to have you aboard.
Always liked the TCMA '50's & '60's sets from the late '70's

I have several of these and it looks like TCMA was involved with the catalog in some form? There are quite a few different TCMA items for sale...

I had to block out the address label as I believe the collector/subscriber is still living, at least somewhat recently, at the same address, 35 yrs later

A few things....

Hi Mike! Glad to see you here on the Net!

I got my Wagner "through" Mike in the early seventies!

Anyone know what TCMA stands for? I do, but I'll let others post.

Mike held one of the first collector get together's at his home in 1969/70. Not sure of the date. Just recall I was a Sophmore in college at the time.

He gave each of us a sheet of uncut cards and we all "autographed" the sheets on the reverse as a keepsake. See below.

Those signing were:

Bill Haber, Crawford Foxwell, Bill Zekus, David ?, Nate Cohen, Tom Dischley, Dennis Graye, Mile Jasperson, Yours truly, Bruce Yeko, Irv Lerner, Dan Dischley, Mike, Bob Jasperson, Bill Mastro, Tom Collier, Bill Himmelman, Jim MacAllister and Myron Aronstein.

I also previously posted a photo entitled 5 guys with a Wagner in the seventies.

Top L-R: Mastro, Nagy, Haber. Kneeling: Mike and yours truly.

Good Memories!

Fred

I have a TCMA-related question that I've been dying to know the answer to for years. Do you have any information about this card or the set it came from? I am a Tom Seaver collector and have never seen another one of these. It has a copyright date of 1985 and a credit line to TCMA at the bottom right. The back is blank.

What I think (and will confirm in our archives when I can) was that this was an insert/stiffener for an event cover. It was part of an autographed event cover series featuring various players.

Hi Fred, great to see you're here! What a photo! The missing name is Dave Zemsky, from the Bronx, and I still have my copy of the uncut sheet . I'm still very friendly with Bill Himmelman and see him quite often.

Yes, we produced Baseball Advertiser . It was printed at Yorktown Printing on their web press. 4 times a year IIRC.

Great to see you guys here! I've already enjoyed reading what's been posted so far.

I always liked the SSPC sets and especially liked the team sets like 1960 Pirates, 1927 Yankees, 1919 White Sox & 1955 Dodgers (with their postcard sized team pictures), All-Time team sets...

Looking forward to reading more.

We did a LOT of covers. One series was called "On This Day in Baseball History," and we did a set of autographed covers of baseball events, with CMC (Collectors Marketing Corp). Among others.

In 1998 we got into covers quite heavily when we produced covers through Photo File that were offered for sale in USPS locations across the country. Most of those were matted with a photo. We did those until around 2006.
