Here's a real rarity 1964 Sports Hereos Sticker sheet

[whiteymet]

1964 Sports Heroes Sticker sheet. They were part of a 1964 promotion for the "High Point Chamber of Commerce Night" held at Finch Field, home to the High Point-Thomasville Hi-Toms baseball team.

The Hi-Toms were a Class A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, in the Western Carolinas League. Seems they were given out just one night at the minor league park!

Really cool. I wonder though if the set isn't really from 1965. Here is a newspaper clipping from The High Point Enterprise Mon Jul 5 1965:

Another article from the same week said that this was the second year for a Chamber of Commerce Night, meaning I suppose the decals/stickers could have been issued in 1964 also, but it seems like this describes what you have shown, and would tell us the max number made was 4000, which I assume includes multiple teams.

EDITED TO ADD: I reviewed the articles more closely, and they do not mention a prior Chamber of Commerce Night; rather, the references to a second such night were made because the original game was rained out and played the following day, July 6, 1965, as part of a doubleheader. So I cannot confirm there was any such game in 1964, and it looks like the decals/stickers were handed out July 6, 1965-- perhaps also on the 5th if the crowd was allowed in before the game was called.

Thanks to Fred for hooking me up with the complete sheet on the left, and the solo Mays PSA piece to add to my existing sheet on the right.
