A year of Lou Brock

[David W]

This display for autographed baseballs is unique. I am guessing 1975 based on the 4 Dodgers and Lou. Maybe they were sold in N.L. parks, and since the Dodgers won the pennant, and Lou brock Wills SB mark, they were featured? Just guessing anyway, but either way I found it on Ebay, and have never seen another.

I really liked collecting the many MSA discs from the mid to late 70's. I have all of them except for the dozens of hard to find different hand stamped Carousel discs.

Here are 2 of the toughest to find as a sample representation.

The first uses the Linnett drawings and was apparently given out as a sales sample of some sort.

The second are the cup lids, which are real tough to find.

This 4 in 1 is relatively tough to find.

I think the 77's are cool and this OPC 9 card sheet is real cool.

This will be the final regular post in this thread. As I pick up some items, I may periodically update this thread, but frankly, it's harder and harder to find anything I do not have. In Topps issues, I'm missing only the 67 Punch Out, and 74 Stamp Booklet, both of which are tough. Occasionally a blank or wrong back shows up, or a severe miscut. There are probably also more promo type of items out there.

In conclusion then, here is the Transogram figure in the box, along with 2 cards cut from the box, a side tab, and a 68 Topps All Star, which is the photo used for the Transogram cards. This is probably my favorite piece, just tough to find in the box.

Thanks for following my thread.

1975 is probably pretty accurate. That is about when I ran across a large group of these in Central Hardware, of all places! They were on an end cap among the hammers and rakes and crap. As a card and autograph collector, I was shocked. They must have been there a while because they were marked down to $1.

...You know, I think I'll finish my little story over on the autograph section. There's probably an autograph collector or two that wonder what the Hell these are. But, anyway, here's your Brock.

Reposted here is David W's display for the autographed baseballs in previous post. Believe it or not, they are personally autographed!!! All on the sweet spot.

hey david,

thought you might want this. free of charge naturally. bought a 77 cloth stickers back proof sheet/blank front which was pretty much toast to begin with. it had stains, holes, rips, tears but also a couple of nolan ryan/pete rose proofs on it which was my reasoning behind the purchase. anyways, it has 2 brocks (the better one shown) and thought you might want it.

i cut it up as best as i could ensuring each salvageable card was cut over sized so the new owners could slice it to their taste.

anyways, if ya'd like it, just pm me a usps label or something and they both are yours. if not, no worries there either.

Here are a few updates to the Lou Brock gallery.

The 1967 Topps Punchout is a toughie, finally found one on Ebay.

The 1974 Topps stamp booklets are tough to find as well, I finally found one as well.

The 76 Topps is a pretty cool miscut, the 72 and 75 not so much.

Thanks to begsu1013 on the hand cut 77 Topps Cloth blank front proofs.

[begsu1013]

glad ya got them, dave!

and enjoy.

Found this while cleaning out a corner in my office. It was behind a filing cabinet.
