A year of Lou Brock

[David W]

Wiffle retail box. It also has a Yaz, Garvey, and Fidrych on the box.

And the last of the Wiffle Ball discs

[David W]

Almost done with the discs. Here is the Wendy's disc.

[David W]

Zip Z disc. I think this is the last of the MSA discs that Brock was on. I think I have all of them, except for an unknown amount of Carousel discs. You disc collectors, are there others, or perhaps different colors of backs or fronts?

Continuing on in the "Things that are round" genre from the mid to late 70's are these pins and buttons.

Well, I am down to less than 100 items left, and the way I put multiples of many things up such as the 4 buttons above as 1 post, I may not make it, but it will be close.

I should make it into June at least I think.

Note the red Brock button has a reversed negative. I have never seen a corrected one. Great thread that I always follow.

Well... I never noticed that. Now unfortunately, I have to begin checking everyone of those buttons on Ebay..... and there are lots of them.

I Like the couple of Garvey crossover items. I think i lost to you on this if you won it on ebay in the not too distant past. I also have one of those baseball displays you feature near the end of the display. i have a set of the signed baseballs that go with the promotion as well.

I have seen some of the baseballs, but don't have any. Are most of the baseballs signed by Dodgers? I assume they are from 75 due to the Dodgers winning the pennant and Brock setting the base stealing record.

On the wiffle box, I did get it on ebay, maybe a year ago. I'd never seen one before, there cannot be too many that exist.

I think I may have an order form as well for the signed balls/display. it might have a year. i'll see if I can locate it and scan it.

the box I bid on was probably a year ago. I had seen the individual small boxes all over the place, but not the larger display box that held the individual boxes. Very cool indeed, especially since i used wiffle balls as a kid. I still have the first card I got from a wiffle ball box (Frank Tanana).

I am updating this thread with some pickups over the last 6 months or so.

A couple of misc team issued photos

1971 Converse booklet in Spanish, signed by Lou Brock and Orlando Cepeda.


The Spanish booklet is extremely rare, I see the English version quite frequently, but never the Spanish version.

Glad to see more Brock items; thanks for sharing. I really like the Spanish booklet. I know it's exciting to acquire items that are from outside the US; very cool piece.

1977 Twinkie "variations".

The 2 with the printers marks are new.
Also, 1 has a rounded corner from the factory.
