| Several years (around 1981) I ordered the first two series from
Pacific Trading Cards. I really like the looks of them and I have
also had a good time explaining Honus Wagner, Pie Trayner, and others
to my kids.
There were four series put out with 30 cards in each series.
The individual series were published in 1980, '81, '82, and '83.
What I have also just found out is that in 1986 the four series
were distributed nationwide.
The PTC catalog I have (October 1986) has the individual series
for $2.95 each with all four for $10.95. They also list Wax Boxes
(36 packs, 8 cards per pack) for $12.00.
Series highlights:
I - Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Gehrig, Aaron, Koufax
II - W. Johnson, Banks, Feller, Cobb
(also Chuck Connors who played two years in the majors)
III - Williams, Berra, Campanella, Kiner
IV - Maris, J. Jackson, Young, Lemon

The 1990 set is out now...the cards are of better quality than the
previous 2 years, and don't look the same as those years. Same
funkiness though :^) However, this year they have some cards for
players *who are still playing*...got a Willie Wilson in my 1st wax
pack. - Jim

<<< Roy, I didn't know where to put this. If you can find a better
place for it, please move it there. >>>
This is not related to trading cards, but it is related to
Sports we all love, so I thought I put it here. Tonight,
Friday Oct. 18, 1991 at 8 PM on local channel 7 (CBS), there
will a special show called LEGENDS, where they will show clips
and stories about Sports Legends of the following
Red Sox: Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Roger Clemens
Bruins: Bobby Orr, Johnny Bucyck, Ray Bourque, Cam Neely
Celtics: Bob Cousy, KC Jones, John Havlicek, Red Auerbach
Patriots: John Hannah, Jim Nance, Doug Flutie
Boston Marathon: Joan Benoit, Samuelson, Bill Rodgers.
Boxing: Marvin Hagler
These are the only ones listed, but it also says: and many more, so
I assume they will also have Larry Byrd, Rocky Marciano, etc...

They are probably saving Rosie Ruiz for another special titled:

My eldest son has a 'Babe Ruth Binge' going currently where he is
soaking up as much as he can find on him (which isn't much in
Australia).
I was wondering if there were any currently available cards of Babe
Ruth? Does the current Conlon Collection set of the Ted Williams
sets have them?
thanks,
pete

| I don't think Conlon Collection makes the Ted Williams set. The Conlon
Collection is made by Megacards I believe. A couple of years ago Mega-
cards released a set of Babe Ruth cards (about 160 cards I think).
These were in the same format, style as their other Conlon sets. The
Babe Ruth set comes in a nice tin.
I haven't picked up a Ted Williams set this year, but there may be
some Babe Ruth cards in there or in the inserts. Mike Kelly would
probably know being a national distributor.
