1970 Chemtoy Superballs
Chemtoy and MLB teamed up in 1970 to offer a set of major league baseball player "superballs". The 285 "superball" set has 12 from each AL & NL team except Minn., Chicago and Oakland with 11 and is packed with HALL-OF-FAMERS !!! Each "superball" has the player's photo inside the ball. On the back is the player's name, team name, position and a Chemtoy inventory number.

This is one of the more interesting collectibles from the late 1960's, early 1970's and highly sought after by Team and player collectors.

Nice!

....wow, your scanner is way nicer than mine..... I'm too cheap to get a another, until this one dies at least. I've tried to focus on real vinatge Ted's (actually have a 1950 American Nut and Chocolate Co. Pennant issue incoming) but this was such an obscure card it was worth the few bucks I paid......

Hope you are well....ready for summer I bet!

Vintage 1950 American Nut & Chocolate Pennants. These pennants came in a box of candy along with a pin for 5 cents from the American Nut & Chocolate co. of Boston. The 4" mini pennants are often found with candy residue still on them. Two sets were made. One set of 22 ballplayers that features a drawing of the player along with a facsimile signature. The American league players are printed in blue on white, and the National League players are printed in red on white. The team pennants consist of 16, the amount of teams that existed in the Major Leagues in 1950.

OMG does this bring back memories!! It's amazing to think how little we knew as kids the things we had and abused and used daily would be collectible decades later. My brothers and I had a bunch of these balls. Too funny. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Scott!

...thanks Dave, I had never even heard of these things but since it was on my William's checklist I figured I might as well pick one up. I actually have a bunch of odd-ball Williams items- Moxie soda bottle label, pins, small felt pennant (see above) and this bouncy ball.....have not picked up the condoms or matches yet.... :lol:

 

[MaineMule]

New pick-up, from, I believe, a 1950 book entitled "Big-Time Baseball".....and a nice pic on the reverse.......

Picked up this odd-ball item to go with the felt pennant:

Well, I did not fare so well in the Player Collection contest but here are a couple of recent pick-ups....

[center:14n1x6ch]1965 Jimmy Fund Card- this is the 1st time I have ever seen this card. I actually missed out on a 1956 card last week, the 1st time I had ever seen that as well.....

1950's Jimmy Fund Tag

Advertised as 1960 team card but I am not sure exactly what issue this is.........

Great stuff as always Scott, I voted for you and I think those that didn't don't know that cards were made before Bowman Chrome. I think as far as players PC's go in the contest without a biased approach and just based on density and extensiveness, its between Your Williams PC, the Chavez PC, the Grace PC. I would have loved to enter my Puckett PC because I already know that your Williams PC is more extensive then mine.

Anyways, Picked up another late 40's B&W 8X10 auto of my most expensive player collection. I'll have to scan it here tomorrow. I've also been on my continued search through my stash of boxes filled with cards, and came across my 6th 58 topps Williams AS. I'm amazed at the stuff I find in some of these boxes. I'm also a little pissed that I'd misplace some of the cards I've found. For example I found the 57 Mantle in my sig in one of these boxes. The Williams I just found looks like it may grade a 6, so it'll go in with my next submission. I also found a mint or better Rollie Fingers RC, and a Vida Blue RC that looks close to pristine. May be able to get some cash on those after grading.

Sorry again for going on and on, I'll contribute some pics/scans tomorrow

In 2004, at a small, local card show, I bought two boxes of 04 Leaf Certified Materials. I pulled these two cards out of the boxes. Both feature Williams/Nomar and both are numbered to 50. What were the odds???

My only vintage are a couple of Fleer Ted Williams set cards, wish I had a nice vintage to show!

Nice to hear from you Andy! Wow, 6 58 AS cards!!

There have been a couple of Ted '39 Goudey Preimum's on EBAY in the last several weeks- both ended $700+, which is just too much for me now. Also, a few other odd-balls have popped up recently as well, I have picked up a few here or there.

Nice finding a 57 Mantle just lying around..... :lol: :lol: Doubt I will ever have something like that surface.....

 

[MaineMule]

A couple of new Teds......

This is listed as 1963 Baseball Magazine M118 #85 and I found it at a Beckett store. Not sure if this is really the issue since it is not listed in the "Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards."

Photo looks great, the stain is only in the border.......

This is the 1981 San Diego Sports Collectors #9 card.......
