Star sets from the 80's not found in Beckett
#1

Star sets from the 80's not found in Beckett
I have a bunch of those Star sets from the late 80s, mostly irrelevant players, but I can't list them for trade because they appear not to be in the Beckett database.  For instance, I have an Eric Davis Star Platinum set (out of 1000), but the only Star Eric Davis sets are in 1988 and don't match the numbering (this set is 121-130).  

Is the reason that they aren't listed is because they had issues with licensing or something else?  

Anyway, if anyone is interested, here's the sets I have:

Jose Canseco Silver 127-135
Jose Canseco Platinum 91-99
Jose Canseco Platinum 19-27
Jose Canseco Diamond 37-45
Jose Canseco Green 1-11
Jose Canseco Platinum 1-10
Kevin Mitchell Platinum 10-18
Kevin Mitchell Platinum 154-162
Bobby Bonilla Platinum 73-81
Howard Johnson Platinum 109-117
Matt Williams Platinum 127-135
Mark Grace Platinum 1-9
Mark Grace Silver 172-180 
Eric Davis Platinum 55-63
Eric Davis Platinum 122-130 (x2)
Darryl Strawberry Platinum 118-126
Darryl Strawberry Platinum 82-90 (x2)
Alan Trammell Platinum 71-80 (x2)
Mike Greenwell Silver 28-36
Ricky Jordan Silver 19-27 (x5)
Ron Jones Silver 73-81 (x5)
Frank Viola Platinum 142-150
Dwight Gooden Platinum 82-90
Dwight Gooden Platinum 61-70 (x2)
Orel Hershiser Platinum 91-100 (x5)

I have some Star sets that aren't listed too and I don't know why. PM sent.
I collect Hall of Fame baseball player cards and cards of current and retired superstars.

RE: Star sets from the 80's not found in Beckett
I found a thread on another forum that was discussing these cards and, after reading that, the only thing I can figure is that nobody really knows what the heck is in these sets. There seem to be a ton of different variations based on what the player collectors had dug up and one mentioned that, along with Beckett, even the Standard Catalog doesn't have much to go on in the way of what's actually out there or what was made.

So, my guess is Beckett doesn't have even a checklist because nobody ever got one in the first place.

As with a lot of 3rd party or unlicensed products, they are not list in the database.   Maybe if the company provided a checklist instead of collectors added to the checklist..it would be different..

Very cool, do you any interest in trading them?

I used to be good friends with a family that knew his family very well and got to meet him when I was a kid.

I've never seen these before.

PM me if they're available, thanks!

I found a set of Daryl Strawberry Star cards in a collection I bought. I checked eBay, like I always do, after I didn't find them here. I wound up just throwing them away since they were only worth about $1 it seems.

RE: Star sets from the 80's not found in Beckett
That seems about right. They are probably exclusively sought by player collectors as the photography on them is definitely b-roll, card quality is not great, and their tiering system doesn't make sense (foil for silver and gold, not platinum, but platinum has fewer sets, sometimes). Plus the cards will be listed as one year, but the serial number sticker will say a different year.
