This is not my video. This video was made in 2007 by the now defunct Mastro Auctions prior to the sale of the Lionel Carter baseball card collection.
As a baseball card collector and someone who loves to learn about the history of the hobby, it is my hope that reproducing this video will allow for easier access to like minded collectors who may want to learn about Lionel Carter, a true hobby pioneer!

For more information on Lionel Carter and his collection, check out this tribute by renowned hobby columnist George Vrechek, author at Beckett News and Sports Collectors Digest:

$The Cards That Started the Chrome Era | 1993 Topps Finest Promotional Samples My email: jimsaritelli@gmail.com In today’s video, I’m sharing three incredible additions to my collection—the 1993 Topps Finest Promotional Sample cards of Nolan Ryan, Don Mattingly, and Roberto Alomar. Before the official release of 1993 Topps Finest, Topps produced just 5,000 three-card promotional sets for hobby dealers to preview what would become one of the most influential baseball card products ever created. Each card is marked “Promotional Sample 1 of 5000” on the back, making these the very first Finest baseball cards collectors ever had the opportunity to own. We’ll take a closer look at each card, discuss why these promotional samples are historically significant, and explore how they introduced the hobby to chromium technology, the Finest brand, and the innovations that ultimately led to Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome. I’ll also talk about the mysterious Promotional Sample Refractors—among the rarest and most sought-after Finest cards ever produced. Whether you’re a vintage collector, a fan of 1990s baseball cards, or simply enjoy learning about hobby history, I hope you enjoy this look at three cards that helped usher in the modern premium card era. Do you own any of the 1993 Topps Finest Promotional Sample cards? Have you ever seen one of the elusive Promotional Sample Refractors? Let me know in the comments!
