Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>Are they marbles or other?<BR><BR>There are 1968 Major League Baseball marbles that have this basic design (I've never seen one in person). You can find them in the complete as-sold-in-store packages sometimes. I don't know if they made marbles in other years, but those would be from that era.<BR><BR>I may be wrong (I'm no marble expert), but I doubt a single baseball player marble (or rubber ball) is worth a lot of money (in fact, it may be worth little), but they are unusual and far from plentiful. Definitely counts as a baseball oddball item.<BR><BR><BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>hankron</b><p>I add that, as with many kids, I loved superballs (still do!). But I'd have to get about 5 at a time, because I'd loose one about ever 5 minutes when throwing them against the driveway or at a schoolyard.

Posted By: <b>Rich Klein</b><p>We call them 1970 chemtoy superballs and we have checklisted this set in an older Beckett Baseball Card Magazine as well as an Beckett Almanac. <BR>I seem to recall buying them while out shopping with my grandmother for the munificent sum of 29 cents each. We have listed the McCovey superball with a $25 value. <BR><BR>Hope this helps<BR><BR>Rich
