Candy Lids
Day 125 (May 4, 2020 – 125)
Topps had a neat test or experiment with a new type of collectible; the candy lid. The 1973 Candy Lids set consisted of 55 different lids which were around 1 1/78” in diameter and were on top of a bubble gum product called Baseball Stars Bubble Gum. It’s a struggle to get these things in pristine condition since you had to pull the tab to get the lid off the small gum tub or bucket. I think they were relatively cheap to purchase; around $.10. What’s also pretty cool is on the back of the lid it pictures Tom Seaver and Carl Yastrzemski surrounded by a red star. Just one more thing concerning the candy lids in that the box that these lids came in was visually appealing; the box pictured Johnny Bench, Hank Aaron and Jim Palmer. 1973 Candy Lids Day 125 1973 Candy Lid a.jpg 1973 Candy Lids – proof Day 125 1973 Candy Lid b proof.jpg Day 125 1973 Candy Lid c proof back.jpg

Bowie Baysox
Alan, your post reminded me that in the inaugural year of the Baysox (1993), the company my father worked for (Nabisco) sponsored a day at the stadium. I tried to get as many autographs as I could in a little notebook. Here's the first page of that notebook. WJZ13 was there filming and somewhere my parents still have a tape of 11-year old me on the news standing in line for Brian Dubois' autograph.
The only slightly disappointing note is that I just missed (I think I was 2 back) getting manager Don Buford's autograph and I still haven't been able to meet him.

That's a cool story. I hope you can find that tape. It's interesting to note that the stadium in Bowie wasn't ready in 1993, so the BaySox played their first season at Memorial Stadium. 1993 Bowie BaySox.jpg Buford, Don 5.jpg

Great memory. Thanks for sharing with us here. Back some years ago, while in FL, the company I worked for stored Nabisco Foods products. We did this until I believe 2005 when they were sold to Kraft. Most of the product went to their mixing center.
