Year: 1992 - 1993
Manufacturer: Pocket Pages Card Show Digest
Card Set: Pocket Pages Card Show Digest Inserts
Card Number: 23
Card Type: Base Magazine Insert
I've had this card in my collection for quite awhile and I always thought it was an insert or bonus card added to packs of 9 pocket pages. Like a 10 or 25 pack you can pick up at Wal-mart or something like that. I was curious exactly how they were distributed and there are quite a few cards in the set. After a little research and checking a little more closely at the copyright on the back of the card I discovered I couldn't have been farther from the truth. This card was a magazine insert much like the cards that were put into Baseball Card Magazine. I don't have a personal copy of an issue of Pocket Pages Card Show Digest, but I can assume from the name it was a publication that listed nation wide card shows. I've found a few images to share here and archive for posterity. In the center of the digest 6 cards were stapled into the middle. The checklist over at the Trading Card Database looks to be incomplete, but this set alone looks to have over 50 cards in it and there are other Series' as well. The cards also cover at least all 4 big sports. Robin was in the November 1992 issue featured below. If you happen to know more about these cards and the magazine/digest they were in feel free to share in the comment and/or post links.
