Major League Picture Ball - Mets (1983)
1 Attachment(s)
Does anyone have any information on this ball? It looks like it was part of a set with every major league team. I am looking for the Mets ball for years but can't even find an image anywhere. Thanks.

I was going to do a write-up about how hard it is to search for something like this... when I found the dang thing.
https://ebay.com/itm/153433667077 My method: guessing who would be pictured and looking on Ebay. search terms: Seaver photo ball EDIT: close up images in that auction seem to reveal: the photos are not printed on the ball, but like an iron-on or a sticker of some sort. The 3rd picture showing Tom Seaver you can see it. Also the Tom Seaver image appears to be from when he was on the Reds. |

Thanks so much. I have been looking for that ball for years. It didn't help that he didn't include Kingman in either the description or title. Eric |
Sucks that it shows Seaver in his Reds gear.

I will make a preliminary checklist for what is on Ebay as of today that I can find. If interested in the photos, you can get them from the ebay links.

Gossage https://ebay.com/itm/312573486816 With the presents of the 84 ball, it has the same card back as the 83 balls. Either there is a second series for 84 teams, or the "first series" that the cardback mentions includes some from 83 and 84. EDIT: I searched for every player on the 1982 all-star game, not already on the above list, but could find no additional entries not even loose ones. Example search terms: trillo baseball -signed -bobblehead -cap -jersey -pinback |
