Progress is moving at a surprising pace these days. In the past couple of weeks, I have been in contact with the gentleman who started the fledgling blog 1992 Mexican Leauge Baseball Cards. He posted a link to some photos of cards and unopened boxes he still has from the set. In my previous post about this set, I posted close-up scans of the logos on the backs of the cards:
From my email conversation of past weeks, TCI means Trading Cards International, Inc., the short-lived company from Lockport, Louisiana, who most likely designed the set. EDM stands for Estampas Deportivas de Mexico SA de CV (possibly the actual printers of the cards) and the back of the box reads Lomeli Trade Center SA de CV Guadalajara Jalisco (the import/export company that distributed the set).
He also sent me about a dozen cards I didn't have, so I have been able to expand the checklist a bit. This is only 33 cards now, of a total 150, so I've asked if he wouldn't mind filling in the gaps so this set can get the recognition it deserves in the hobby as the first major modern Mexican League set.
4 Luis Alberto PenaHe apparently was friends with someone who knew someone that worked for TCI, and helped distribute the cards around the Mission, Texas/Reynosa area, and also recalls the cards being heavily distributed in Monterrey and Guadalajara. Hopefully I will have more to report in the future.

Added another 6 cards to the list. Thanks, Art!




I think a certain Dodgers fan is going to like that Osuna card.
