OT - 1993 Topps R&N China Porcelain cards

[Exhibitman]

Going through the R & N porcelains I have I noticed a few from different sets:



This Bowman has gold edging and the back says "R & N China Co., Inc." at the top and "Limited Edition #_____ 10,000 sets" at the bottom. Mine is #860

Then there is this one:



It has a gold embossed seat front left which reads "1931 1995 Mickey Mantle" with a Topps logo. The back says it is from the Mickey Mantle Commemorative Set. The # is "2656/S5" and handwritten.

There are porcelains of all or at least most Topps and Bowman Mantles. I think they are neat. Those are good ones Adam

I think all of the regular issue Mantle's are available in this format, I have 4 myself. If I remember correctly they were offered through a firm called The Hamilton Collection.

There's a bunch of porcelain sets aside from the 1993's, here are just a few
-1962 Topps Babe Ruth Story (10)
-T206
-Yankees legends, a few Yankees stars from the 50's like Stengel, Berra, etc
-Rookie cards- Rookies from the 70's and 80's mainly, guys like Bonds, Eckersley, Puckett, Henderson
-Nolan Ryan (every regular Topps Ryan from 68-93)

There's also a number of single player sets where one or more cards are autographed. I know Ripken has one. There's also a few R&N China which are reprints of Upper Deck cards.

I've decided to keep this one for my '1952' collection:



Not likely to own the real thing. The rest I am going to sell starting next week. I've just got too much extraneous stuff.

Time for a 2021 update. Just added the following new cards to the checklist:

190 Doug Drabek
201 Jose Uribe

That brings the verified total to 148 (though honestly the Jeter is still iffy as far as belonging to this set).

That's really true John. I should send one of those ebay sellers a note saying I have the Fleer card but would pay really big buck for a Topps Porcelain

Another good day on eBay, three more cards turned up:

20 Tim Salmon
50 Roberto Alomar
450 Darryl Strawberry

That brings the total to 154 / 825.
