1985 Wichita Eagle-Beacon Card Checklist Part #7

1976 Linnett Superstars-Perforated #98 Dave Concepcion

A mistake was made on my last request for microfilm, so I only have 2 updates this week. The best player in this update is probably Dave Concepcion. One interesting note is someone tried to use an 1986 Topps Alan Knicely card to trade up to a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle. You can read the story about that here. He failed in that quest. This is the last update to the checklist. It is complete now!

The Charles Barkley pre-dates his 1986 Fleer rookie card by one year. It also contained well-known professional basketball players Danny Ainge and Maurice Cheeks. It will only be a few months until this list is complete.

1985 Wichita Eagle-Beacon Card Checklist Part #3

Today's update has the first old-time players in it. We have Hall-of-Fame players Rube Marquard, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson in this entry to the Wichita Eagle-Beacon set. I've listed a Christy Mathewson from the popular T206 White Border set as an example. The set ends in 1985, so I would expect within the next few months, I will have a complete checklist for 1983-85.
