1981-83 Venezuelan Stickers

Continuing the Venezuelan theme as I will in the next few post this set is very similar to the 80-81 set in that it is 288-sticker set measures approximately 2" by 2 3/4" with name centered and then sticker number below.  For the 1982-83 winter season, the set was expanded with several cards being issued per team with letters suffixed to the card numbers.  Distributed by Digallo C.A.  Special thanks to Clyde's Stale Cards Blog for pointing me at the checklist.

2002 Panini Stickers Caracas History

Another Venezuelan set measures 2 3/8 x 3 and consists of members that played in the Caracas Venezuelan "winter ball" league through out the years so it contains many MLBs along side some great Venezuelan players.  It was issued with a album and the stickers were issued in packs.  There are a few double puzzle stickers that create a complete image when together.

The checklist is incomplete at this time so any additions are appreciated.

1983 Wichita Eagle-Beacon Bubblegum-less Cards

It was issued in the Wichita, Kansas area newspaper and included 3 players to a strip but included football, hockey, basketball and even college and high school players and seems to have focused on what ever sport was popular at the time frame.  The 1985 issue was made up of old timers and past heroes.

This 1983 checklist was compiled by Kevin O'Conner at http://www.calripkenjr.net/ he got the microfilm from Wichita and went through and cataloged each one. 

here's an individual


and the strip

they are super tough to find as the Wichita Eagle-Beacon just isn't the New York Times as far as distribution.

1974-1976 Cincinnati Reds Photo Cards

 This set features members of the 1974-76 Cincinnati Reds. These cards had no PC markings on the back.  measure 3 1/2" by 5 1/2" Cards have the player's fascimile autograph in a white box with a Cincinnati Reds below the signature both in black. Since the design didn't change from 1973-1976 it is impossible to distinguish individual years except by certain players only played during certain years and by uniform style.  Since these cards are unnumbered, we have sequenced them in alphabetical order.
