Default 1993 Newfield Publications - "Sports Pages" Insert Cards

I've searched Blowout for more information about these but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find out how many there are in the collection.

Newfield Publications - "Sports Pages"

How many baseball 'cards'? 115???
How many total 'cards' in the collection? 175???

Football?
Hockey?
Soccer?

I'd be grateful for any information, thanks.

Go to the PSA Forums or Net54 if no answer here.

Do you have a picture of one of the cards?

I may be able to do a better search if I had one.

They're not cards - it's why the quote marks.

They were mail-order 8.5"x11" paper (when folded) player biographies. Designed to fit a 3-hole punch binder.

In the mid-90s they were sent out to anyone who had a subscription to a hobby publication like Tuff Stuff or SCD.

They usually came 3 subjects per cellophane pack.

Have no idea if anyone actually signed up for the subscription. And I would imagine that's the only way to verify the Subject/Sport. But if memory serves it covered a wide variety of sport themes.

Sort of a cheaper version of the vintage plastic Sportcaster Cards.

Does anyone have a checklist for these? I have about 200 different pages in the 10 categories.

There's a good discussion about these over on FCB:

I started that thread on FCB to help me finished checklisting that set, but the Sports Pages are a different issue than Sports Heroes, although quite similiar in look and distribution.

I don't have a good answer for the OP, as I have way fewer of the Sports Pages and have never tried to checklist them...yet. I have 2-3 binders worth, but have yet to organize them. I suspect that their run was much more brief and maybe 200 or so pages is a good guess for a starting point. When people sell those binders, it typically includes one. When a Sports Heroes collection is sold, it is often 4-6 or more binders. The Sports Heroes set is fairly large in comparison, with over 1000 different pages.

Yeah, not sure of a checklist for Sports Pages set.

But I think I have a complete set of Sports Heroes, Feats and Facts as follows:

It appears a complete set is 90 packets of 12

#@ For a total of 1,080 pages in 8 categories

Baseball Champions - 180

Basketball Champions - 154

Football Champions - 179

All Sports Champions - 117

Great Moments - 122

Bloopers and Trivia - 119

Record Book - 119

Poster Pages - 90
