Digital Gum Wave 1: Winnipeg Goldeyes

Inspired by the 1981 Topps MLB cards, I decided to try my hand at a retro bubblegum card set for the American Association teams. First up is the Winnipeg Goldeyes, still a few more Fish to come. For players who have been traded, I'm using the old "Now with _____" notation. I seem to remember this notation style more on the Topps/O-Pee-Chee hockey cards than baseball, but memory is a tricky thing...enjoy!

    These are awesome! Were these ever released as a trading card team set?

    Thanks for the kind words! No, these were just an unofficial set for online. I made similar sets for the T-Bones, Saints, Thunderheads and an all-star set. I'm hoping the Fish go for a retro-look set for this year though!

      Hi Brant -- I will check at the Goldeyes office to see if they have any sets left with Matt. You can send a mailing address to my Twitter @dlemoal1 or email it to rocketvan@hotmail.com and I will do everything in my power to get a card to you! That's awesome that Matt's your son's pitching coach, we sure miss him up here! Cheers, Dan
