One of my favorite facts about TCMA (this is Andrew typing, not Mike) is that we did the Roy Hobbs prop cards for The Natural in 1984. Did have an uncut sheet around here but it's currently MIA:

Andrew- that last piece is awesome. I love when there are the printers colors and marks showing on pictures and lithographic items. Thanks again for sharing!!!

I've enjoyed this thread - welcome to the board!
My parents got me the Baseball's Greatest Hitters, Sluggers, Pitchers series when I was a kid and I studied the backs of every one of them. As a 12-year-old, that was about as close as I was going to get to owning a Cobb or Gehrig card. I remember really being in awe of the guys who were in BOTH the Hitters and Sluggers sets. A few years later I picked up a box of cards at a yard sale and when I got home I realized I had complete sets of the 1919 Chicago White Sox and the 1946 Boston Red Sox, along with a lot of other various TCMA cards and 1970s Topps cards. I always loved the Ted Williams card from the '46 Red Sox set (pictured below). Good work! |

Just came across this article about the origins of TCMA, from 1975. Enjoy

TCMA products have always caught my attention. I'm not sure exactly how many I personally own right now, but I consider them some of my favorites.
In reading the exchanges in this thread, it does my heart good to see someone who has been so very entrenched in the hobby and has kept their passion for both the hobby and the game. Bravo. I have never understood how companies like yours survive with all the licensing restrictions involved with marketing any professionally-based sports products. It must be frustrating, but I am glad to see you still pushing forward. I look forward to any new product you decide to create. |

Given the current state of the various licenses for producing products featuring MLB or MiLB players and team logos, what was the licensing environment like in the 1970s and 1980s with regard to both the minor league sets TCMA produced, as well as the various historical sets?
