1992 Topps #899 Stu Cole


The last card in the 800 numbers in the 1992 Topps set belongs to Stu Cole. Stu played in the Majors for only 1 year, in 1991 with the Kansas City Royals.  Stu is the 3rd base coach of the Colorado Rockies, and has been so since the 2013 season.

Stu never received a card in a regular Topps issue, and only has cards in the 1992 Stadium Club and Topps Debut sets. This '92 Topps custom compeletes his career Topps run as a player. It is also an error card, as I erroneously listed him as a pitcher and not a 2nd baseman. Stu needs cards from the 2014-2018 Topps sets to complete his career Topps run as a coach.

I got my order from COMC in, and I am going to write a post about that on my other blog. I also want to put links to checklists for the 1989-2001 Topps sets on this blog.  With that, and some things I am doing with Detroit Tigers customs, making checklists for the 1996 Topps set, and trying to print some cards, I think I'll be busy for a while. Thanks for checking out my latest custom.

1992 Topps Tony Eusebio


Tony Eusebio got into 10 games with the Astros in 1991. He got 2 cards in Topps products in 1992, a '92 Stadium Club card, and a '92 Topps Debut card, but missed out on the regular set, probably because he appeared in so few games. The only other major 1992 set that Tony got into was the '92 Score set.

It was hard sometimes to get photos of the Astros with the old logo, since they switched to the futuristic star logo in 1994. For this photo, I borrowed one from his 1993 Team Stadium Club card. This card is also an uncorrected error card as he played in 10 games in 1991 but his career total is listed as 11. This is the 2nd Astro in a row in the set, as the last card was Astros Outfielder Mark Davidson.

I got some thicker paper for my printer, and I might try to print out some cards and see how they turn out. I will probably have to adjust the sizing on some cards, and figure out a way how to get them to print front and back, but I will hopefully figure everything out and have some cards to put in my binders to finish the '92 Topps set if all goes well. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for checking out my latest card.
