Frank Thomas help!
I went digging through my old 90's collection of baseball cards this weekend and found alot of old Bonds, Arod, Ripkin, Gwynn, and some more rare inserts that I think alot of people might be interested in.
But, I also found a set of Frank Thomas cards that I can't find ANYTHING on .. anywhere. Has anyone seen these before? They are still in the same screw down holder as they were over 20 years ago so the scratches are on the surface, I believe.
Any help would be great because they look great in person.

As alfredoleal2001 said, they are unlicensed cards and therefore not listed in the OPG. Maybe worth a buck each to a Thomas collector. I have several of the ones you have pictured.

and before he says it: broder's is just a catch-all term that the collecting universe has labeled most unlicensed cards from that era with

Thanks for the input. Just making sure these weren't some rare collectables.

Like Kleenex has become a catch-all term for tissues.
