Does it really exist? Prove it!

Thanks everyone for the info about the stamps. I'm glad to hear that there are some out there.

1978 Wiffle Ball bat/ball holder with Hrabosky and Bonds

I have been attempting to complete this set since it cam out and have never, ever even seen a picture of this one. I have been able to confirm all the rest of the 86 cards of the 88 listed. I can't even confirm 100% that these are the two players on it or that they are on a bat/ball holder.

23 known, 24 if you count Aaron:

"CORKY" VALENTINE REDLEGS
"RUBE" WALKER DODGERS
ALEX GRAMMAS CARDINALS
BILL SKOWRON YANKEES
BILL TREMEL CUBS
BOB SKINNER PIRATES
BOBBY HOFMAN GIANTS
CHARLIE WHITE BRAVES
CHUCK DIERING ORIOLES
DAVE JOLLY BRAVES
DON MOSSI INDIANS
HARVEY HADDIX CARDINALS
HOWIE POLLET CUBS
JACK SHEPARD PIRATES
JIM DAVIS CUBS
JIM PENDELTON BRAVES
JOE CUNNINGHAM CARDINALS
KARL SPOONER DODGERS
RAY BOONE TIGERS
RAY JABLONSKI REDLEGS
RUBEN GOMEZ GIANTS
STAN HACK CUBS
TED KAZANSKI PHILLIES

I believe at least 40 are possible based upon the section of the card sheet they are taken from. At least one stamp from each row and column is known so I think it highly likely all 40 were produced (U means unconfirmed) and possibly 50 if column 1 from the uncut sheet was also included. There is no correlation with the Sports Illustrated inserts either, which are much more random. The 4 stamp block is reproduced as well, it's intact on the schematic, so I think my theory is plausible.

ArmourPhil showed an uncut sheet of these a couple of years ago, this is the best I could make a scan of it. That proved that the Hrabosky/Bonds sleeve existed. He also proved that they were a 1979 issue, not 1978 as previously thought. I agree that there hasn't been sight of one available, just like the one with the pink Buckner/Eckersley discs from the sheet, which I have never seen available. ETA: there were even two different Hrabosky/Bonds sleeves on the sheet, one with dark colors and one with light colors.
