College Cards and Other Minor League Sets (TCMA, CMC, etc.)

1978 TCMA Holyoke Millers #11 Steve Green (UER, unlisted)


1980 TCMA Memphis Chicks #18 Dennis Sherow (UER, unlisted). The only way you can tell with this one is the top of the logo on his shirt should have the stripes facing to the right.

1982 TCMA Minor League #994 Dennis Sherow (UER, unlisted). Weird that Sherow has two TCMA rev negs when virtually no one else even has one. When it came to reverses, TCMA didn't print many as far as I know.

1987 TCMA Tidewater Mets Dwight Gooden (UER, unlisted). The TCMA card (on the left) is the reverse image of the ProCards version from that year.

1988 Baseball America AA All-Stars #29 Jeff Manto (UER, unlisted)

1988 CMC Phoenix Firebirds #4 Roger Mason (UER, unlisted)

1988 P&L Cap Cod League #35 Russell Springer (UER, unlisted). I love the way reverse 5's look...

1988 P&L Cape Cod League #102 Pat Leinan (UER, unlisted). Best way to tell with this one is the words on the scoreboard are reversed and on all the other Wareham Gatemen cards from this set, the scoreboard is on the right and the bleachers are on the left.

1989 CMC Phoenix Firebirds #10 Trevor Wilson (UER, unlisted). The Wilson card is on the left. The way you can tell is the white part of the logo on his hat is faced in the opposite direction from the hats of all the other players from this set (compare to the Tate card on the right hand photo).

1989 Grand Slam Quad City Angels #24 Larry Pardo (UER, unlisted, scan on left). Compare to another 1989 card on his in the right-hand scan. Same pic but reversed.



1989 Grand Slam Texas League All-Stars #28 Chuck Carr (UER, unlisted). The J is backwards on his hat.

1992 Front Row Draft Picks #45 Scott Klingenbeck (UER, unlisted). This player is right handed and the 2 on the back of his shirt is reversed.

1992-93 Fleer Excel #8 Doug Glanville (back photo, UER, unlisted). The Cubs logo is on the wrong side of his shirt.

1984-85 Coca-Cola Nebraska Cornhuskers Police #30 Lori Sippel (UER, unlisted)

1985-86 University of Nebraska Police #23 Dave Hoppen (UER, unlisted). Logo is on wrong side of shirt.


1991 Classic Four Sport #58 Shawn Estes (UER). This one is actually listed as a reverse negative in the books.

1993 Classic Four Sport #301 John Wasdin (back photo, UER, unlisted)

1989 Collegiate Collection Georgia #154 Wally Williamson (UER, unlisted)

1991-92 Penn State Legends #36A Mike Reid. The reverse negative version is not picture here, but rather the corrected version (on the right). I could not find a scan of the error version at the moment of looking, but when I do find one I will try to update this.

1989 -90 Collegiate Collection Louisville #88 Alex Mantel (UER, unlisted)

1989-90 Oregon State University Team Issue #12 Teo Alibegovic (UER, unlisted). Card is located on the top left corner of this scan.

There are a few other rev negs I know of that I couldn't find scans of, such as ther 1978 Geneva Cubs Team Issue card of Mike Godley, which is noted in price guides, as well as the 1954 Seattle Rainiers Popcorn card of Tommy Byrne. One day I will find those suckers, as well as many more hopefully. There's no telling how many team issued cards are reversed, but since those sets can be rare chances of scans popping up on the internet aren't good for a lot of them. No hope of finding a reversed minor league or college card after 1995 though--I've gone cross-eyed looking and just don't think there are any out there.

There's still a few more baseball cards to go before we go on to other sports. Next time we'll look at rev negs from foreign baseball sets.
