The first 67 in the initial 990 cards come 3 ways. The ones with no MLB copyright are semi tough, mostly because it requires review of the back. The one with Hall Of Fame spelled out rather than abbreviated to HOF are easy to spot but hard to find. The promos and prototypes for each year were distributed like salesman samples. Some are pretty scarce. Four of the prototypes from 91 are really hard to locate because there were limited amounts printed and they are not stamped as promos but just lack a copyright line on the back. The site above is pretty good at laying out the whole “checklist”

I collected this set when it was first issued and thought it was one of the neatest sets. I loved all the detail in the cards and the not frequently seen images. It quickly became my favorite set to flip though and read.
Did not know the info in this thread. Thanks Al-R

I picked up a pack of Conlon cards when they first came out, at a convince store near my house. I pulled a Shanty Hogan card. I've never heard of him before. I started a collection of vintage cards of Shanty Hogan cards that I could afford. Then I started collecting other players in any sport, who's first or last name was Hogan. I used to ask my wife before hand if I could spend our money on any card over $200.00 or more. She always said yes.
 She said because it makes me happy.  God she was an amazing woman.

To get 4 of the Conlon promo cards I had to buy 4 copies of the 1992 All Star Game Program ( San Diego) because 4 different Conlons were pop up inserts in them.

I love the Conlon cards. Great photos and many have excellent statistical summaries on the back.
I have graded about 20 of them for my set registry HOF set. I know their value is perhaps less than the cost of grading, but I love the cards, and life is too short. Also the 1994 American Archives set. Same reasons. Last edited by bxb; 09-14-2024 at 06:43 AM.
