Cartwrights Magazines

These magazines were printed in 1992 and 1993. There were only 5 issues put out
before Major League Baseball put enough pressure on the publisher to stop printing because of the "unlicenced" cards being inserted into the magazines.

Each cover is an artwork, by Gene Locklear. The magazine is a price guide for baseball memorabilia, such as Limited Edition Lithos, Game used/signed bats, signed balls, figurines etc. Each issue is enhanced with the addition of collectable cards. Not just 9, but 27 gold and silver foil enhanced cards in each issue, along with additional special cards in each issue, making for a total of 31 cards in each, 33 in the Premier Issue.

The following is a list of each issues cover and the cards included in them.
