*Bump* Found a nearly complete 1951 set at an antique mall in San Antonio this week on my business trip.
Was this the first year full names were used? I saw some 1940s discs online with just last names (like DiMaggio). There also may be variations, because some of the discs included had a dot under the 6 (to show they weren't 9's) and some did not.
The discs were, in alpha order:
A-E, F-J, Yogi Berra, Lou Boudreau, Tommy Byrne, Roy Campanella, Sam Chapman, Gerry Coleman, Alvin Dark, Bob Dillinger, Larry Doby, Walt Dropo, Luke Easter, Bob Elliott, Del Ennis, Hoot Evers, Bob Feller, Grady Hatton, Ken Heintzelman, Gil Hodges, Larry Jansen, Sam Jethroe, Willie Jones, George Kell, Ralph Kiner, Ted Kluszewski, Bob Lemon, Whitey Lockman, Stan Musial, Hal Newhouser, Andy Pafko, Mel Parnell, Howie Pollet, Jerry Priddy, Vic Raschi, Pee Wee Reese, Phil Rizzuto, Robin Roberts, Aaron Robinson, Jackie Robinson, Preacher Roe, Al Rosen, Johnny Sain, Red Schoendienst, Andy Seminick, Duke Snider, Warren Spahn, Vern Stephens, Birdie Tebbetts, Henry Thompson, Dizzy Trout, Mickey Vernon, Dick Wakefield, Vic Wertz, Wally Westlake, Ted Williams, Gus Zernial. One of the original discs also had the player information cut out, so it's just the ring with the scoring.
In the game was also 4 home-made (not filled in blanks, as far as I can tell) discs: Nelson Fox, Ned Garver, Gil McDougald, and Gerry Staley.
