Issue Question
 
Posted By: <b>Will Hays</b><p>Can anyone help me place this issue? The five non-Orbit discs are metal with a player on each side, #1 and #2 on either side. They have to be from 1933 or 1934 as one player, Johnny Hodapp, is a Red Sox. 1-1/8" diameter. Players on these five ar Earnshaw / Melillo, Frisch / Clark, Pipgrass / Bottomley, Earnshaw / Alexander and Goslin / Hodapp.<br /><br />Winner gets a free West Coast Memorabilia t-shirt at the National. Don't forget to remind me.<br /><br />Thanks, Will<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1215128408.JPG">

Issue Question
 
Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>as was stated they are PX3 Double Header Discs, you were encouraged to "Add #1 to #2 and make a Double-Header" I believe they were a Gum Inc. issue. I have seen a wrapper for the issue, but they (the wrappers) are EXTREMELY scarce. Those with #2 at bottom are slightly smaller in diameter than those with #1 and fit inside the #1's. Thus I have found #2's are usually rougher as their paint around the outside has been worn putting the disc inside the other.<br /><br />Here are a few more, they came in a wide array of colors.<br /><img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/px3dykes.JPG"> <img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/px3marberry.JPG"> <img src="http://www.starsofthediamond.com/px3whitney.JPG"><br /><br />Obviously today people would rather have them as singles as opposed to "coins" so you might want to seperate them. This can be difficult, but I have had success using small suction cups on each side and pulling them apart. This will work unless there is any oxidation that has occured.<br />-Rhett
