1988 The Sporting News Conlon Baseball Immortals SERIES/SET 3~ALL 31 cards BABE+

Description: Offered for your consideration is. . . 1988 BASEBALL IMMORTALS Very Limited Edition ~ Series 3 *SCARCE COMPLETE 31-CARD SET 30 Charles Martin Conlon photo cards including Babe Ruth plus checklist card Fifth of 8 Standard Size Card Sets issued 1986-1988 In 1988, World Wide Sports, in cooperation with The Sporting News, issued several 30-card series made from original photographic negatives created by master photographer CHARLES M. CONLON. These cards, unlike earlier Conlon Collection products (1981, 1983 and 1984), are standard card size (2-1/2" by 3-1/2"). All cards are in sepia tones. No production numbers for this series were announced but, in our experience, series 3, 4 and 5 are as scarce (or scarcer) than the 1986 and '87 numbered limited editions, and they were limited to just 12,000 each. An educated guess would be 10 to 12,000 of each - perhaps fewer. If you lack this excellent set, consider grabbing it when available at reasonable cost. This Conlon Collection series - like all Conlons - feature the best writing to be found on the back of any baseball card. You can actually learn something by collecting Conlon sets. Card condition: Excellent-Plus to Near-Mint with most cards being Near-Mint or better. Alphabetically, this set (series) includes: ~ Series III ~ Babe Ruth (is top card) plus *Babe Adams ~ Grover Cleveland Alexander ~ Eldon Auker ~ Jack Barry ~ Wally Berger ~ Ben Chapman ~ Mickey Cochrane ~ Frank Crosetti ~ Paul (Daffy) and Dizzy Dean ~ Leo Durocher ~ Wes Ferrell ~ Hank Gowdy ~ Andy High ~ Rogers Hornsby ~ Carl Hubbell ~ Joe Judge ~ Tony Lazzeri ~ Pepper Martin ~ Lee Meadows ~ Johnny Murphy ~ Steve O'Neill ~ Eddie Plank ~ Jack Picus Quinn ~ Charley Root ~ Fred Snodgrass ~ Tris Speaker ~ Bill Terry ~ Jeff Tesreau ~ Specs Toporcer ~ checklist card *Note: Charles "Babe" Adams is pictured but the reverse side of the card has information on Ace Townsend Adams. This is an uncorrected error. _______________________ Important: Shipping Information A goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
