1972 TCMA Reprints (W-unc) Checklist

Tom Collier and Michael Aronstein are known as TCMA. It's a play on the names of the company's two founders. Throughout TCMA's 15-year existence, the business mostly manufactured cards that paid respect to the game's golden age, focusing on teams and stars from the 1920s to the 1950s. 1972 saw the first sets issued under TCMA’s name .

• 1972 TCMA 1887 Allen & Ginter N28 Reprints
• 1972 TCMA 1888 Allen & Ginter N29 Reprints 
• 1972 TCMA 1909 Philadelphia Caramel E95 Reprints 
• 1972 TCMA 1914 Cracker Jack E145 Reprints 
• 1972 TCMA 1922 American Caramel E121 Reprints 
• 1972 TCMA 1928 Tharp's Ice Cream F50 Reprints

As you can observe, acquiring the aforementioned sets in excellent condition would incur significant costs. In the past, there existed a market for these reprints, which were sold directly to collectors through mail order. Below, I will provide the checklist for the Cubs, which is relatively simple to gather.

This collection represents Topps' second set of coins, the first being released in 1964.

The reverse side of the coins includes the coin number, brief biographical information, and the phrase "Collect the entire set of 153 coins."

1969 IHOP Cubs Placemats (O-unc)

Who would ever collect these weird, mostly unknown cubs memorabilia? Well, I do, and if you do, then you're a hard-core Cubs collector.

Number of Cards

1969 IHOP has 17 placemats, which there are 1 Cubs team.

Size of Cards

The placemats are the following dimensions: 10" x 15"

Basic Features

The International House of Pancakes (IHOP) offered a placemat showcasing headshots of fifteen members from the legendary 1969 Chicago Cubs. These placemats were designed for single use and were intended to be thrown away afterward. IHOP invited its customers to "Take This Place Mat To A Game And Have The Players Autograph It."

This was certainly a unique collection. The ACC Designations O signifies oddball, and I truly enjoy hunting these down.

1976 Kellogg's 3D Super Stars (F287-8)

Number of Cards

1976 Kellogg's has 57 cards, which there are 1 Cubs player.

Size of Cards

The cards are the following dimensions: 2-1/8" by 3-1/4""

Basic Features

The 1976 Kellogg's 3-D set was available either card by card in cereal boxes or as a complete set through the company in exchange for box-tops. Cards that are still encased in their original wrappers are valued at 25 percent more than the prices indicated below. What, then, contributes to the uniqueness of these 3D baseball cards? The process begins with a cutout of a player, which is then complemented by a blurred background, followed by the application of a transparent plastic layer featuring ridges over the image. These cards were produced by the Xograph Company located in Irving, Texas, using technology developed by Visual Panographics from New York.

Unfortunately for the Cubs, the final years of this era featured only one player from this historic team. However, on a positive note, the reverse contains a substantial amount of information regarding their careers.
