Do you have the list broken down by source? It would be interesting to see if they were all available on each sort of package or if some only came one way.
I'm betting a few of the discs won't have been isued or that some are only on the bat/ball holder, since 5 doesn't go into 88 evenly The Yaz/Carew may actually be from 1979. Pretty typical of the era some small stores and small distributors had inventory well after it had been discontinued, making it hard to tell. I think I bought the Yaz at a white hen pantry store. some time after I'd bought the Jackson/McGraw. It's torn, so it's also likely It came from one of the other kids in the neighborhood. I recall some bat/ball combos with a corrugated holder, I think I have a partial one, but it's in the unsorted stuff maybe with the boxes. That was a great couple years for disc locally. The White Hen had Chilly Willy and carried whiffleballs, and Papa Ginos was also in town. I managed to get advertising pieces for both of those full size sets. Plus there were the RC cans..... And Hostess..... Steve B

I didn't want to get to detailed and make a boring post, but the breakdown of the cards by package that I can confirm is:
Junior size (1): Campaneris/Lopes/Fidrych/Kingman/Stennett Regulation (8) Garland/Tanana/Perez/Hisle/Rice Moffitt/Maddox/Simmons/Mayberry/Rodriquez Brock/Concepcion/Schmidt/Lynn/Parker Blyleven/Zisk/May/Garr/Joshua Bell/Stargell/Tenace/Luzinski/Sanguillen Orta/Montefusco/Blue/Rose/Fisk Seaver/Nettles/Matlack/Lezcano/Trillo Munson/Garvey/Rudi/Cardenal/Spencer Softball(3) Bando/Burroughs/Watson/Hunter/Matthews Tiant/Cedeno/Koosman/Wynegar/North Brett/Cash/Burris/Candelaria/LeFlore Bat/Ball Sleeve (11) Palmer/Bench Eckersley/Buckner Oliver/Messersmith Jackson/McGraw Yastrzemski/Carew Carlton/Smith Chambliss/Perry Fingers/Foster Morgan/McRae Gullett/McBride Ryan/Cey I personally own all but the last seven bat/ball sleeves. I have seen pictures of them to know they exist. That accounts for 82 cards. The boxes state that 88 players are in the set so I'm still looking for six more. Each card appears only once in the set. When this set ever gets re cataloged they will clearly need to consider the scarcity of the issuing boxes, much like they do Post or Hostess. There are a TON more regulation cards out there than sleeves or junior balls. (edited to account for one sleeve I missed) Last edited by darkhorse9; 06-27-2012 at 01:55 PM.

Question?
Are the die cut cards and the box cards the same or is there a way to distinguish them other than the cut method? I'm a Brett player collector and have had one of these for years but never realized there were two versions. And I have the date listed (seemingly incorrectly) as 1976 on my checklist...probably from a Beckett list.
Thanks for the info on these...the checklist just keeps growing.

The backs are different on the two versions. There's also a noticeable difference in the cardboard quality between the two.
Not having them in front of me I can't give a verbatim answer as to which back is which. The 1977 die cuts are all the same on the back, the box cards differ depending on where they were on the box (some cards faced to the inside of the box some to the outside)

That's the first color variation I've seen. I don't know what that portends. Was it a different year? Simply a different run?
The checklist still remains unresolved as the players featured on the color variations are identical.

I wish I'd written down what year I got the couple I had before. For some reason I'm thinking the Reggie/tug is 78 and the Yaz/carew with no color is 79. I moved to town very late in 77, I don't remember if the inserted discs were around then, But I did get a couple, which makes me think the Sears either put them out late or didn't have them till 78. Possible with a big chain, stuff sometimes stayed in the supply line a long time. (And crazier in Canada, I bought 77 OPC in the Canadian half of Glacier park in mid summer 78 and they'd just gottten them)
We played in the backyard which had a semi Polo grounds feel to it - Wall and trees along left field, lillacs along right, narrow and about 100ft to the grapevines along the fence in center. We'd play late into fall, the season ending when the ball hit either the 3rd base rock or the stone wall in left and shattered. Usually a 20degree day in early Dec.  That's part of why I'm thinking the colorless bat sleeves are a different year. We used up a few balls a year, but only wrecked one or two bats. Steve B
