1990 St☆r Big League Yellow & Blue (unlicensed) Baseball Forum

Hello all again!  I picked up this card at a garage sale recently and from what I can find online, it looks to be a Promo to this set......I want to make sure before adding it (so as to not create more work :D )  can anyone confirm??  If so, I (or anyone else able to) can add it and I will and then I will add the scan.  thanks again!!

Of what I see in the 1990 set lists that would seem to be the place to put it.

Thanks ;)  added!  

I think there has been a mistake here. These cards have come up before, They say Statz on the back, not Star. It's a different company than the Star company that made cards at that time. I don't remember what the decision was about these then, I think we were looking for a checklist. I think the name of that set needs to be changed. Hopefully, someone who knows more about these will come along.

Agreed this is a different company than Star.   Star did numerous sets in multiple sports and I remember those cards.  From everything I can find on the interwebs.....this is from a company called Starz.  They did an unlicensed set of yellow border cards with a few of the stars.  (Bo Jackson, Nolan Ryan, etc.)  From what I can see they did a limited basketball one also with Jordan for the 90-91 season

Yes, it has come up before. It's STAR, that's why there's a big STAR for the letter "A".

To clarify some information surrounding Star Company:

Star Company started out doing single-player baseball sets in 1982. (The owner had actually made quite a bit of money from "investing" in the 1981 Fleer Star Stickers - if anyone was around in 1981, they were really the first product to go through the roof very soon after release - and that's why he named the company Star - at least this is what he told me in 1986.) In 1983-84, Topps did not renew their NBA license, so Star Co. took it on and did the team sets and some specialty sets for 3 seasons (the term of the contract). When Michael Jordan came along mod-contract, the NBA found that it was something they could charge a lot of money for (rather than the pittance Star got it for), and it went to Fleer, and then it expanded to other companies after that. Star continued to make single-player baseball card sets throughout. By 1988, Star then dove into minor league baseball team sets (with contracts for 2 leagues - SAL & FSL, IIRC), and that carried on for 3 years as well as starting the "series" sets - Nova, Platinum, Gold, & Silver (later adding Stellar & Millennium). I think it was around 90-91 that Star began doing single-player and series-based basketball sets. Baseball and basketball were the only 2 sports Star Co (or Star Int'l.) ever had contracts for and produced.

I'm not sure who produced this "STATZ" or "STAR" cards. I know we had changed whatever sets were here from STAR to STATZ and someone changed them back. Maybe we can rename them "ST☆R" if someone doesn't like the TZ at the end. Otr call it ST☆TZ. Not sure, but we could do this.

it is a weird logo.....I was looking at it a bit closer and you could call the last two? "letters" either a TZ, R backwards S, or even just an R......Whatever we name it, I believe this "promo" fits in that set correct?
