Oh, yeah, I know the Griffey, Ryan, Bonds, Thomas and Ripken are all available as parts of career retrospective sets. Probably Clemens as well.

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.

For kicks, I weighed my Roberto Kelly card on my postage scale and it reported 0.8oz. That means the entire set, just cards without packaging, would weight 41.25lbs!

I just stumbled upon this thread after having recently picked up a R & N China Co. 8.5" plate at a local garage sale. This plate has a large image of the 1958 Topps Bob Clemente card. It is still shrink-wrapped in its original packaging, and only the top of the plate shows. I found an identical plate currently for sale on eBay as a BIN, and the seller shows several pics of both sides of the plate - here's the link to it:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/29497211846...ampid%3APL_CLK

I know absolutely nothing about these R & N China plates, so I will appreciate any information anyone can provide about this Clemente plate, such as:
- What year was it produced?
- How many Clemente plates were produced?
- Were plates produced for any of the other 1958 Topps cards?
- Is this Clemente plate worth more than the few bucks I paid for it?

Thanks in advance for any helpful info,
Val

How many? The certificate said it was limited to 90 minting days. That's a lot of plates, but obviously not many survived. The one in the ebay listing looks like it's #61,9x0 , so that's tens of thousands of that specific plate.

I would price it at $50 in my antique mall booth, personally.

John, thanks for your helpful input. I'll likely put it on eBay for around the price you suggest.

Jason, hopefully like Korczak Ziolkowski you have lined up other family members or a family foundation to continue your work on this set since it seems to be more than a one lifetime endeavor

Someone just listed a lot of 17 cards today, which adds #143 Steve Finley to the list, bringing us to 158 total/825.

Kind of annoying that a lot of 17 only turned up one new card. What was with people buying all those Rockies cards? I get that they were new and all, but geez.

In any case, if this pace keeps up, it might only take half a lifetime!

Just found this thread while searching for information on a card that was among the items I inherited from my dad. He had (now I have) the Greg Maddux porcelain card and I very much enjoyed reading through everyone's stories as you hunt to confirm the full set.

I created an account just to say thanks!

Right on schedule, one more card has hit eBay. #232 Tino Martinez is now listed, complete in original hanger packaging. Oddly, the serial number field on the certificate is filled in as "AP". If that is supposed tobe a number, I cannot decipher it. So I guess AP/1000? Artist Proof?

That brings the total to 159.

After updating my blog and TCDB, I noticed these came in at least three different packaging styles, the white pinstriped hanger card, a blue/green hanger card, or small box. All varieties came with the wooden stand and a small slip of paper, I suppose acting as a certificate of authenticity containing the serial number.

Ah, make that two more, I missed a #83 Reggie Sanders that already sold. That makes 160.

I've started documenting the 1994 set, now, as well, since someone had added a few to TCDB. I've identified up to 33 cards, so far. I think it was the same deal as 1993, only fewer people new, or cared, about the 1994 offering. I would still like to find some sales or marketing material for these. I've got a few hobby publications from the time period, but the only adds I've ever found were for the Dream Team set or the Ryan set.
