by My final thoughts on this wonderful set….
This set originally caught my attention when I was involved in sending autograph requests through the mail to current and former players. The heavy card stock and light backgrounds made for a perfect surface for the players to sign. I am also a bit of a baseball historian and this type of set still appeals to me. I also favor the Topps All Time Fan Favorite sets and the Topps 1953 and 1954 reprint editions.
There are three cards that I have never seen photos or examples of. They are the Phil Rizzuto (GBA-PR) auto card that I have spoken about, the Carlton Fisk (GOT-CF2) game-used bat card from the Glory of their Time subset and the Lou Brock (GOT-LB) Glory of their Time game-used patch card.
As for my success with this set, I am missing just one GBA card; Phil Rizzuto (GBA-PR) – although I do have the base card signed through a private signing (I am still hunting the GBA version), four of the Battery Mates dual cut autographs (which are each /10), and six of the Glory of their Time memorabilia cards; two patch cards (Ripken and Brock), three gold foil game-used cards (Skowron, Ryan and Rizzuto) and that elusive Fisk game-used bat card.
Yup, take away all of the super short-print cards and I’m just eleven (11) elusive cards shy of a complete Greats of the Game “regular guy’s” master set.
I love the chase.
Something tells me that the last eleven may be the most challenging!
As for my favorite card(s) in this set. Kinda like asking me which daughter I love more! It’s a question without an answer.
Next, I’ll take you through the Cut Signature Edition and then move on to earlier Fleer sets. Thanks for reading thus far and I look forward to our conversations!
If any of you have any leads or information on this set, please add a comment or question.
