Chemtoy Hi-Bounce Balls

[laughlinfan]

I’ve seen a few posts in this section that mention the Chemtoy Super Balls. I was digging through my rat pack past last week, and found some of my collection. Little me was a big spender, buying these at my local Big N store on sale for 20 cents! Has anybody else ever seen these on the original card? Every time I have seen them with original packaging, it has been in the big box where they were loose and sold for 10 cents each (back in 1970). I still have some in these blister packages and some loose. I remember playing with a few when I was a kid. The pictures in them always made me laugh – some were pretty nice and very clear. Some were so dark you could hardly make out that it was face, let alone recognize the player. Anybody else have any fun memories of these?

Are those the same ones they used to sell in the machines for a quarter? That's the only way I remember seeing them.

I remember them as being loose and picking them out of a box from our (extremely small town) local grocery store. I had about 7 or 8 of them, mostly Phillies (Harmon, Bowa) and Reds (Rose, Carroll) from what I remember. I do think I saw them in gumball type vending machines as well, but it wouldn't have been at our local store.

I remember having the super balls, with the players pictured, but just can't recall how they were packaged. I think they were loose. Those are very cool in the original packaging.

A Brooksie super ball in one of those packages?!?

I got mine out of a vending machine at Kmart. I haven't seen them packaged any other way.

I have some complete sets of the New York Yankees that came from an original team box.

I always bought them from a large box, the local store had an AL box next to an NL box. Never saw the team boxes at the time, and this is the first I've seen of the blisters.
If anyone had a team box or AL/NL box with or without the balls for sale I"m interested.
