Default 1962 Auravision Records

In 1962 and 1964, Columbia Records produced sets of Auravision baseball player records .

The 6-3/4" x 6-3/4" records are quite baseball card-like in that they feature color photos on front and player bio and stats on back. They were originally issued as mail-in premiums through offers found on Milk Duds candy boxes and Meadow Gold milk cartons, and possibly in other ways. There were eight player records in the 1962 version and 16 in 1964. The 1962 seem to be harder to find according to most sources.

I really wish they had included Brooks Robinson, the the only Oriole is Jim Gentile from the 1962 set. I've never played it, so I don't know what the record says.
