Soft drink cup lid. I suppose there are many "variations" depending on where the straw hole is. This is one of the hardest to find. I've often wondered if this could also be faked easily, as they appear to just be a wax paper copy glued onto the lids.

MSA Customized - an ad for MSA appears on the back - One of the 2 or 3 hardest to find in my opinion. Has anyone ever seen any of the tennis players or the other "people, places, and things"?

Here we have the "straw hole at 3 o'clock" and "straw hole at 6 o'clock" variations. Is that a good start?

76 and 77 Dairy Isle from upstate NY. Per the Standard Catalog 76 had red and purple backs and 77 had red and blue. I am really not sure if all the players are available with both backs, or if half were printed in 1 color, or for that matter if there is a way to distinguish the 76 and 77 red backs from each other. At any rate this is one of the easier ones to find, despite apparently a somewhat limited distribution area.

Detroit Caesars softball disc. Owned by Mike Ilitch - Little Caesars owner, they drew thousands to watch them play. Do you know who there 2 most famous players were? (they were not the best players however...)

Here is a link to the history of the team.
