Card Identification Forum

Not a sports card person, so need help. I did a search on Ken Burlew and one on Geneva Cubs, but couldn't locate this card in the database. I'm probably just looking/searching on the wrong 'key words' ??? I have this big lot of totally random sports cards I picked up at a yard sale and just trying to track them down to see if they need scans added to the database. THANKS!

Wow.

Set listed here:

https://www.tradingcarddb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/65992/1990-Star-Geneva-Cubs

Set does not include any NNO cards. Yet it does have card #26. (This is significant because we printed on 100-card sheets, and we'd set up 4 teams on one sheet - 25 cards per set. Cards 26 and up, and NNO ones like this one would be on an "orphan sheet" - one sheet to handle all the leftovers. Sometimes the orphan cards would not be ready to go in the sets to go out and would go separately (this is why some sets are listed as "25 or 27 cards" in some cases).

Sometimes cards like these would be made as a courtesy to the staff, sometimes not even intended for distribution with the set (hence the lack of number). I don't remember this card in particular, mainly because it has been 28 years. If anything, it may need to get added to the set as a single promo listing, not as part of the base set.

So you used to work for Star?  That's pretty cool.

Dan, Thanks for the response! If someone figures out how it should be added and adds it, I will upload my scans.
