hmmmmm.....so they WERE sold at ballparks (and maybe at five and dimes as well). The "Rah-Rah" packaging led me to believe these were sold in stores. It seems like most stuff sold at ballpark concession stands was sold without packaging.
I went through Paul M's book. Unless I missed something, the scan below is all I found. Paul dates these to 1970 and they are smaller still, at 1.75". They are extremely similar to the pins we've been discussing but lack the MLB logos, have different fonts and have 4 stars per side, rather than 5. I'd have to imagine Paul bought these as a set from someone...
