Baseball Cards

"Topps" and "Bowman"

On the 27th March 1997, Brett signed a contract with the

..CARD COMPANY

and the following cards were released during 2002

20 different cards!!!

*********************************************

NOTE #1 - the quality of some of these images is not very good
But it is not my fault, and my scanner is working perfectly
It is due to the highly reflective nature of some of these cards
eg, gold, chrome, multi-colour, refractor, xfractor - all scanners turn these areas to black
It is unfortunate, but the appearance/colours of most of the cards is 'passable'

NOTE #2 - simply click on any thumbnail image to view the card

NOTE #3 - also below are copies of some of the promotional adverts released
by Topps/Bowman for these card series

NOTE #4 - this page also includes a copy of the cheque for US$825.00
from the Topps Card Company!!! - with maybe more to come!!!

NOTE #5 - after looking at these cards, CLICK HERE to see a Display Unit
made for all of Brett's baseball cards
