Periodically we experience problems with our scanner. Today is one of those days. Depending upon which view you choose, the first scan will show horizontal lines and/or cross hatching marks. Rest assured, these are not on the card itself. Usually scanning problems are confined to color pictures but today it's "advanced" to black and white! (You will note that the second scan (reverse side of the card) exhibits none of these problems.)

Colorized  Conlon Collection Trading Card

#29 - PIE  TRAYNOR  ~ 1937 Pittsburgh Pirates

Issued 1994 by Megacards, Inc. & The Sporting News Publishing Co.

Megacards, Inc., in cooperation with The Sporting News, issued this card in 1994 and it was distributed via mail in a send-away premium offer.

It is a standard size (2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches) card and is generally collected as part of a Megacards Conlon Collection colorized version subset consisting of 48 cards: #1-47 plus #28CCD), issued over the 4-year period, 1992-1995.

Conlon Collection cards of the modern era (1981-1995) were issued by multiple publishers and offer great value to serious and casual collectors alike.

ANY NUMBER of single cards (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) will ship for the USPS Ground Advantage rate IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying. eBay standard envelope is another option within its limitations. Questions? Email us.

Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist).

Important: Shipping Information 

Our goal has always been to keep shipping costs low. Our objective is to sell cards and other things of interest to baseball hobbyists - not make money by overcharging on shipping.

  • U.S. residents: We combine multiple items purchased so you pay only the shipping on the heaviest item - all other items ship free of charge. (An exception would be if an item must be sent via media/book rate.)
  • All Other Countries: Email us first.
  • To receive your combined shipping, please wait for us to send you a combined invoice. The eBay checkout system usually displays an incorrect shipping charge. (It is normally too high.) Please do not pay for each item separately; if you pay separately, there is no shipping discount.
  • We pack your order carefully - sandwiching cards between cardboard and utilizing boxes, bubble wrap, etc., as necessary - to ensure your items arrive in the condition you expect.
  • Items are shipped the next business day after we receive your payment. We ship 5 - usually 6 - days each week.

                Payment should be made within 7 days after notification of  purchase. ca.184
